If the Current item record displays, the last item record displayed, modified, or added is retained. Click this button to select this item.
Note: If WorkFlows determines that the item currently should be anywhere but on the shelf in its home location, an alert message displays to indicate what should be done with the item. Click OK to close the alert message. For example, if a user in another library put a hold on the item, the alert message will suggest that the item be put in transit to the other library to satisfy the hold.
A list of physically inventoried items appears. This list includes the call number/copy and Item ID (barcode) of each item. Click glossary links to display more information.
You can sort items in the List of Items Inventoried in ascending or descending order. To do this, simply click the column heading of the column you want to sort.
