If a borrower has made a hold request on a title, you can assign that hold request to another title. You may want to do this if you need to delete a bib record but you want to keep the requests that are linked to that record.
When you reassign or transfer a hold request from one title to another, Horizon checks to make sure that there is an item on the destination title that can be requested and checked out by a borrower. Horizon then checks any requests being transferred against each item in the destination title and makes the appropriate transfers.
Effects
• | If the destination title has no requests, Horizon transfers the requests. |
• | If the destination title already has requests on it, Horizon merges the requests that are being transferred into the existing request list by date and time. |
• | If a borrower has a request on both the title that you are transferring requests to and the destination title, Horizon deletes the duplicate request. |
Constraints
If the destination title does not have an item that can be requested, Horizon cannot transfer the request.
