Temporary location of an item

A temporary location can be used to, for example, gather items related to a certain topic at a special place in the library for a limited time period.

This is how you register an item on a temporary location:

1. Go to the item details.
2. Find the Temporary location section.
3. Select Account, Authority, Home branch, Department, Section, Shelf, Item type and Expiry date for the temporary location.
   
4. Click Save.

When an item is scanned in the Check in window and the expiry date for temporary location has passed, the temporary location is removed and the item gets its ordinary location again. If you want an item to be assigned its ordinary location next time it is scanned, then enter today’s date as expiry date. Temporary location cannot be cleared using the bulk handling functionality - the items have to be scanned.
