Item records usually represent one physical, circulate-able unit. The item record is where the barcode, material type, loan type, and current item status are stored.
Preconditions: Existing Instance and Holdings Record in Inventory
New item displays with the associated Holdings in the right pane
Steps
Items with some statuses (such as checked out) cannot be deleted. FOLIO will display an error message (as illustrated) and will not allow the deletion.
If an item has no dependencies (i.e., relationships to other records), it is easily deleted.
Item records must first be suppressed before they are deleted. (This ensures the change occurs correctly in the public catalog.) Before following the steps below, suppress the item and either wait a minute or two.
Steps
As of Iris release there is no way to change the default/stored order of item records within a holdings record. You can, however, change the display order temporarily by sorting.
Sort by the values in any displayed column by clicking on the column header.
For example, sort by status, click on the word "Status"
Future functionality (manually changed the order items are stored) is described in https://issues.folio.org/browse/UXPROD-1625
Default display:
Sorted by Enumeration (still not quite right):
Sorted by Chronology:
Preconditions: Holdings and Item records already exist in Inventory
Preconditions: Instance record exists with more than one associated Holdings record
Item record displays with the Holdings to which it has moved; its effective location and call number reflect that holdings
Note: Once you have activated the ability to move items, an additional option will appear in the Actions menu–Stop items movement within an instance. This will change the display back to the usual view, but will not undo any item movement you have initiated.
Preconditions: a Holdings record exists on the Instance the Items will be moved to
Item(s) that have been moved will display with the Holdings record(s) to which they have been moved, along with the associated effective location and call number. They will no longer display with the Holdings record from which they were removed.
Many item statuses are assigned by FOLIO based on specific actions and cannot be assigned or changed manually through the user interface. For example, an item with status Checked out must be checked in for the status to change.
