Once you decide for every item status whether it will become a temporary location or a process type, and the items are in Alma with the temporary status "Technical Migration", you can move on to updating the items to the appropriate temporary location/process type.
Post-migration to Alma
We will need to run a job in Alma for each different item status in order to update the items to the correct temporary location or process type. Let's say that you have made the following Item Status decisions:
Millennium/Sierra Item Status | Alma representation decision |
|---|---|
In Repair | Work Order: Repair |
On Display | Temporary Location: display |
On Search | Work Order: Searching |
You will perform the following steps for each group of items with a particular item status in order to update all items to their correct Alma representation.
For a new Work Order type
- Navigate to Manage Sets. Under My Sets select Add Sets | Logical
- Name your set something informative (All "In Repair" items) and select the Set content type of Physical Items and select Next.
- Find Physical Items where Internal Note 1 contains "In Repair" and select Go. Select Save and save the set of items that had the item status "In Repair" in Millennium/Sierra.
- Per these Ex Libris instructions, navigate to Run a Job and select the job "Change Physical Items". Flag the items as Missing and run the job. Run this job again to remove the Missing flag (select the checkbox next to "Missing Status" and leave the value box empty). The items should now be in place.
- Navigate back to Run a Job under Manage Jobs.
- Select the job Create physical item work orders and select Next. Select the set that you just created 'All "In Repair" Items' and select Next.
- Select the appropriate Work Order Type, for instance "In Repair"
