Last Updated 11/03/2023

Adding Items to a Bucket

From the Item Bucket Interface

In the Item Bucket interface click on the Pending Items tab. Click on Buckets.
From the drop down menu select the bucket you wish to add the items to. Alternatively you can create a New Bucket.
Scan in all of the items you wish to add to the bucket.
The number of items in the bucket, displayed beside the bucket name, will update as will the number on the Bucket View tab.

Note

Staff can also scan in pending items without first selecting a bucket. Items from the pending list may then be added to multiple buckets by selecting Add to Bucket from the Actions menu and choosing the correct bucket for each subset of items.

"Add to Bucket" is the first option listed in the "Actions" dropdown menu.

From a Bibliographic Record

Retrieve the desired title through a catalog search.
If it is not your default view click on the Holdings View tab.
Use the check boxes to select the item(s) you would like to add to the bucket.
Click Other Actions menu button below the Record Summary.
From the drop down menu select Add to Bucket
To add the item to an existing bucket, select the one you wish to add to from the drop down menu in the pop up box.
To create a new bucket, select the New bucket tab and enter a name for your bucket.
Repeat steps 1 through 7 to add additional items from other bibliographic records, as needed.

Scan barcodes in the Item Status screen

Click on Search → Search for Items by Barcode
Scan the barcode(s) of the item(s) you wish to add to the bucket.
Make sure that the items you want to add are selected (i.e. box on the left side of the screen is checked).
Right click on one of the selected items or go to the Actions menu.
Click Add items to bucket.
Choose an existing bucket or create a new bucket.

"Add to Item Bucket" is the first option listed in the "Actions" dropdown menu.

Upload file of barcodes in the Item Status screen

Run report to get a list of barcodes that you want to edit or delete using an item bucket (e.g. Lost items more than x years overdue)
Save only the necessary barcodes in either a .txt or .csv file. Barcodes must be on separate lines and may be comma separated.
Click on Search → Search for Items by Barcode
Click Choose File and select your saved .txt or .csv file of barcodes.
A successful file upload will display each barcode as a line item.
Make sure that the items you want to add are selected (i.e. box on the left side of the screen is checked).
Right click on one of the selected items or go to the Actions menu.
Click Add items to bucket.
Choose an existing bucket or create a new bucket.

The "Choose File" button is to the right of the "Scan Item" barcode field.

Note: Uploading files with extraneous data (other than barcodes) or punctuation other than commas will result in errors.
Incorrect or deleted barcode notification

Removing Items from a Bucket

Use the check boxes to select the item(s) you wish to remove from the bucket.
Right click on one of the selected items or go to the Actions menu.
From the drop down menu choose Remove Selected Items from Bucket.
