What's Available in the the Detail View?

You can navigate the detail view utilizing the tabs underneath the record summary. The tabs include:

• Quick Summary
• Recent Circ History
• Circ History List
• Holds/Transits
• Cataloging Info
• Triggered Events

Quick Summary

The first tab in the Item Detail interface is the Quick Summary. This shows a non-editable summary of the Item Attributes assigned to this copy, as well as brief information about the item's current status and circulation details.

Note: One of the detail fields in this page is labeled Duration Rule. This field is filled based on the duration rule that was applied to this item at the point of its last circulation. This rule should not be assumed to apply to future circulations. If the previous circulation transaction was conducted at a different library, or other aspects of the circulation policy, such as the patron type, are different at the next transaction, a different policy with a different duration rule may apply.

Adding and Managing Item Alerts

This tab primarily provides information about the item. There is only one available action, which can be conducted by Item and Bibliographic Catalogers: Adding and Managing Item Alerts. 

For More Information
Instructions on adding and managing Item Alerts is available in the Item Alerts page in this knowledge book.
