Changing Item Records

You can change an existing item record by opening it in the Item Record workform. To make the same change in multiple item records, you can use the Bulk Change process; see Bulk-Changing Item Records.

When you change an item record and save it, a warning message may appear, depending on the information you changed and the following profiles in Polaris Administration:

• Item records: Warning if changing assigned or home branch - If this profile is set to Yes for your organization, and you change the assigned or home branch, a warning message appears.
• Item records: Warning for items saved with modified barcode - If this profile is set to Yes for your organization, and you change the item’s existing barcode, a warning message appears.
• Item records: Warning for items saved with Display in PAC unchecked - If this profile is set to Yes for your organization, and you save the item record with the Display in PAC checkbox unchecked, a warning message appears.
• Item records: Warning for items saved without barcodes - If this profile is set to Yes for your organization, and you save the item record without a barcode, a warning message appears.

Note:
For information on setting these Cataloging profiles, see Displaying Warning Messages for Bibs and Items.
