When you transfer requests from one title to another, Horizon lets you load both the title that has the requests you want to transfer and the destination title. Then Horizon displays the information about the titles that you specified when you set up the Transfer Request Queue Bib Display. This lets you verify that Horizon transfers the request to the correct bib record. You can choose whether to transfer item-specific requests.
Effects
Horizon changes item-level requests to bib-level requests.
Constraints
Horizon transfers requests from one title (bib) to another, or from an item level request to a title (bib) request on another title. For transferring an item level request from one title to another, Horizon converts it to a title level request first.
