Item Status
Concepts
Item Status is an item attribute that indicates an item's "state of being."
Item Status can be manually applied and changed (using the Holdings Editor) or system applied as the result of a circulation transaction. We recommend that item statuses are changed using a circulation transaction or function, such as
Check In Items (aka Process Items),
Mark Item Damaged, etc.
Some statuses are set to be non-visible in the OPAC and non-holdable.
