Use the Update Stacks Search Results button on the Process ribbon to process found items from the In Stacks Searching queue as well as other queues. Clicking the Update Stacks Search button opens the Update Stacks Search form on the Home page. You can search for items, process items, and route items to other status queues from this form.
The Updating Stacks Search Form
The Update Stacks Search form contains a Search area, Process options, and a Route button for routing items to a different processing queue. The Route button is similar to the Route button on the Item form. Below the Update Stacks Search ribbon is a grid that holds all search results. This grid contains all fields from the Items and Courses tables. The Item Information section contains citation information and a Notes field. Reserves Information holds the Pickup Location and Loan Period fields. These fields are editable based on the state of the item you are processing. Course Information shows the Course Name, Number, Code, Instructor, Semester and Start/Stop dates.
The citation is displayed as it appears using the default serial or monograph citation templates. These templates can be overridden.
Searching
The Update Stacks Search form conducts searches based on items in In Stacks Searching. Use the Look In dropdown field to search for items in Awaiting Acquisitions Fulfillment, Awaiting Supply by Instructor or to search in all queues. You can narrow your search for items by entering the Item ID or Citation criteria.
Hover over the Citation field to see a tooltip displaying the fields that can be searched here.
