Deactivate a reserve item

You can deactivate items that frequently go on and off reserve. When you deactivate a reserve item, the item is taken off reserve for a course, but the reserve item settings are stored so they can be readily used again. Use one of the following methods to deactivate a reserve item:

Note:
To deactivate a reserve item, the item’s reserve status must be On Reserve, and the circulation status must be In (except ILL items, which cannot have a status of In).

• From the Course Reserve record, Items view: Right-click the On Reserve item in the Reserve items list, and select Deactivate from the context menu (or click .)

• From the item record, Reserves view: In the Linked courses list, right-click the course for which you want to deactivate the item, and select Deactivate from the context menu.

The Start Date and End Date values for the reserve item in effect for this course are removed, and the reserve status changes to Not Reserved. If the item is not on reserve for any other course, the primary circulation settings become active. If the item is not on reserve for any other course, the assigned branch for the reserved item is different from the primary assigned branch, and the item should be returned to the library collection, Polaris displays a message that the item should be returned to its primary branch. The primary circulation settings become active, and the primary circulation status changes to In Transit.
