Moving an item to another manifestation

There might be situations where items have been connected to the wrong manifestation. Users with the Collections - Move items permission have access to a Move item button in the manifestation context menu in order to adjust this.

You can move items that belong to your own account regardless of transaction status, but some aspects need to be considered.

  • Items with status On order can be moved to another manifestation, but the order items in Acquisitions will remain on the original title. So it might cause confusion to move the items before they are received.

  • When an item is moved, no consideration is taken regarding reservations, including item reservations. The item will no longer trap any existing reservations for the original manifestation.

Perform the following steps to move an item from one manifestation to another:

  1. Find the item that is connected to the wrong manifestation and take a note of its item number.

  2. Find the manifestation that the item should belong to, and in the manifestation context menu, select Move item.

  3. In the dialog that opens, enter the item number of the item that should be moved and click Move.
