Home Location Changes

All, as you will probably well remember we decided to move all the items that used to be in the BB location from that location to JUVBRDBK. To that end we shut off the BB policy in Workflows. I have not moved any of the items yet. I was waiting to hear from the directors who wanted me to move them. This was to avoid moving some big books that might have been put in the location with the board books. At any rate what you are now seeing if you look up any of your board books is that they are showing up in the location ADMIN. That really isn’t the case. In the system they are still in BB and show that way in i-Bistro as well. The problem is since Workflows cannot display the location BB it is displaying those items in it in the first location that it can display, which turns out is the ADMIN location. So all I need to know from you is who wants me to move their board books from BB to the new location. I can do it on the server but only in one big group so if you have other books that aren’t of the board variety move them out yourself and then let me know and I will take care of the rest. Below is a listing by library for the BB location and then the number of items in it. So if your library is on this list let me know when it is okay to move your items and I will do it. Seaford is done already so ignore this Leigh Ann.

This also applies to any of the locations that were said would be moved and haven’t, they will all appear to your logins as being in that Admin location. Remember that is only how they appear in Workflows. To the real world (i-Bistro) and the system (me) they are still in the same location they have always been in.

So if you come across any other items in that ADMIN location this is why. Just let me know and I will move them for you. (It’s actually quicker if I do it because the home and current locations are changed. If you edit the items yourself only the home locations change you will have to check the item out and then back in to update the current location.) Let me know if you have any questions.
