Setting Add Item Defaults

The Set Add Defaults function lets you set the default values for several fields on the Add Item form.

To set Add Item defaults:

1. From the Circulation menu, select Add Item - Set Add Defaults.
   • The Set Add Item Defaults screen displays.

2. Enter the desired default values for the Prefix, Suffix, Item Call Number and item Cost in the associated text boxes.
3. Enter any default Comment or Circ Note (circulation note) in the associated text boxes.
   • The Circ Note is intended for use in noting damaged items on check in, identifying special handling requirements, or other related information. The Circ Note is shown in the Item Has Notes field on the Checkout Warning screen and Item Checkin screen in the Circulation module.
4. Select the desired default material type from the Material Type menu.
   • The Material Type menu lists all currently defined material types for your library.
5. Select the appropriate default locations from the Current Location and Permanent Location menus.
   • The Current Location and Permanent Location menus list all currently defined library locations/collections for your library.
6. Select the desired item status from the Status menu.
   • The Status menu lists all item exceptions defined for your library.
7. When all desired default values have been specified, click the Submit button to save your changes.
   • The message “Defaults Saved” displays at the top of the screen.

Each time you access the Add Item screen (see Adding an Item from Circulation for details), the screen will be pre-filled with the specified default values.
