When you open the Batch Item Delete window, you can use several Horizon search tools to create a list of item records that you want to delete. You can also scan barcodes to create a list.
To create a list using a Batch Item Delete search window
1 | Start the Batch Item Delete process. |
The default location of this process is the
Horizon opens the Batch Item Delete window and a Compound Search window:
Note: If you already have Batch Item Delete open, you can choose a search option from the File menu. However, if the Batch Item Delete window already contains data, Horizon replaces the data when you do a new search unless you add criteria to a previous search by marking the Append List box.
2 | Do one of these options: |
• | If you want to enter individual item barcodes, do these steps: |
– | Highlight the Barcode search index. |
– | Scan the first barcode into the Search for field. |
Horizon finds the item record containing that barcode and adds the record to the Batch Item Delete window.
– | Make sure that the Append List box is marked. |
– | Continue scanning barcodes until your list is complete. |
The task is done.
• | Highlight the search index in which you want to search (you can use wild cards to search for a range of items in most of these indexes): |
Barcode |
Title |
Location |
Status |
Source |
Collection |
Call No |
Copy |
Volume |
Notes |
Item# |
Bib# |
3 | In the Search for field, enter the term or code for which you want to search. |
4 | If you want to add another search parameter, do one of these options: |
• | Mark the AND button (to limit your search). |
• | Mark the OR button (to expand your search). |
5 | Continue adding search parameters until you enter all the search parameters that you want. |
6 | Click Search. |
Horizon displays the Batch Item Delete window containing the items in your collection that match your search criteria.
Note: If Horizon does not find items in your collection matching your search criteria, a message displays to tell you that nothing was found. Click OK to return to the Compound Search screen and enter new search criteria.
