Displaying Information about Trackable Items

You can view items with activity that you track in the List Item Activity window. You can choose to display a list of items based on a specific type of activity, such as changes in items status, source catalog (the MARC source for the items), date received, circulation date, and so forth.

To display information about trackable items

1 Start the Item Activity process.

The default location of this process is the Cataloging\Item Record folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the List Item Activity window and a Compound Search window:

2 Highlight the search index in which you want to search.

You can search for multiple items on these indexes:

Item number
Barcode
Source
Date Received
Circulation Date
Report Date
Times Printed
Bib number
Location
Collection
Call Number
Price
Last Update Date
Fast Add
Deleted
IType
Item Status
Status Last Updated
Title
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 opens the List Item Activity window and displays trackable items that match your search criteria.

Note: If Horizon does not find trackable items in your database matching your search criteria, a Search message box opens telling you that nothing was found. Click OK to return to the Compound Search screen and enter new search criteria.

7 If you want to refine your search or start a new search, do one of these options:

To use an SQL statement search

To do a Boolean search

1 Choose File, Where clause.

If you choose the Where clause option when Horizon is displaying the results of your current search, the parameters for the first search display in the Where clause field.

2 If you want to, do one of these options:
To refine the search results, add to the parameters and click Search.
To use different parameters, delete the displayed parameters and start a new search.

(For instructions, see “Using a Where Clause to Search for Rows” in the “Horizon Table Editor” section of the “Getting Started” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

1 Choose File, Compound Search.

This lets you perform Boolean searches using the AND and OR operators.

If you choose the Compound Search option when Horizon is displaying the results of your current search, Horizon displays the parameters from the first search in the Search String window.

2 If you want to, do one of these options:
To add to the previous search parameters, mark the Append List box. Then add to the parameters and click Search.
To use different parameters, click Clear Search String and start a new search.

(For more information, see “Doing a Compound Search” in the “Horizon Table Editor” section of the “Getting Started” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

Note: When the List Item Activity window is open, you can choose File and one of the search options at any time to perform new searches or to add to current searches.

Horizon opens the List Item Activity window and displays trackable items that match your search criteria.

If you want to, you can create an Item Activity group of the items in this window.
