Item Group Editor Wizard
The Item Group Editor Wizard is delivered as OFF. Please contact Customer Support to enable this wizard and to specify the configuration you want.
The system can be configured to selectively index certain fields. You can have the system configured so that all searchable fields are indexed, all except item extended info, all except fields related to circulation functions (circulate flag, last activity date, and current location), or all except item extended info and fields related to circulation functions. Fields that are not indexed do not display when searching in the Item Group Editor.
For details about the considerations and options, see “Selecting indexed fields for Item Group Editor” in the Upgrade Instructions.
The Item Group Editor wizard lets you create a list or group of items that can be modified together. For example, you may have a list of books that you need to move from circulation. The Item Group Editor lets you change the Circulate property for each item in the list at the same time. You can save the list of items so you can quickly call up that group and make any changes without the need to search the items again. You can make modifications to a saved group of items or to an unsaved item list. You can also save the original settings for each item in the group so you can restore those settings at a later time.
Editing a group of 1,000 or more items may slow performance, especially on systems that use an ISAM database.
To avoid slow performance, limit item groups to 1,000 items or less.
You can manage groups of items to add or remove items to the group, create new groups, merge the items in two or more groups together, and delete groups.
The Item Group Editor wizard helps you with the following tasks.
