Tracking the First Availability of Newly Acquired Items
You can set up Horizon to track when newly acquired items are first available for circulation. This feature lets you use Information Portal to send automatic patron alerts that a patron requests. Horizon recognizes that a newly acquired item is available when the item status changes to a designated status. (For example, you might want to track the first availability of items when Horizon assigns an item an “In” or “Shelving Cart” item status.) You specify those item statuses for which you want Horizon to track availability.
