Open an item record for editing

1) Conduct a Physical Items search to retrieve the record of interest

2) Click the hyperlinked Barcode or the Edit Item button to open the record in the Physical Item Editor for editing

If you have selected a different search type in Step 1, you will have to view the List of Items first before you can access the hyperlinked Barcode or the Edit option under the ellipsis icon

3) Click Save when changes are complete

If you are in the Physical Item Editor in a free-text field, you can just hit the Enter key and it will save the item. This does not work if you're in a controlled field (like a dropdown or date picker).

Note:

Caution! While the MDE requires a user to release a bib or holdings record before another user can edit it, two users can edit the same item record at once. The item record will not be locked for editing to a single user. 

In order to see previous edits to an item record – including those you may have made simultaneously to another user – open the item in the Physical Item Editor and click on the History tab:

You can't restore a previous version of the item record with a single click, but you can copy/paste a previous value into the appropriate field in the item record.

Change item location

Let's take a look at MMS ID 99918183506421 .

In Voyager, one holdings 102868 with two items attached, both copy 1.  This is the Alma model:


Open the item record of your choosing. Under the location information section, change the Permanent location to the item's new location.

When the confirmation message pops up, select Confirm.

Now you should see 2 holdings: 22133313300006421 (original) and 22479639610006421 (new).
