Item Record

If you have the required permissions set in Polaris Administration, you can search for, access, copy, create, and modify item records in Leap.

The settings that apply to item records in the Polaris staff client (such as the loan period, item home branch, and hold limited to) are also applied to item records displayed in Leap.

When you open an item record, it is displayed in the Item Record workform.
