Batch Modify Items

+ +

This tool will allow you to modify a batch of item records from Koha.

From the tool you can choose to upload a file of barcodes or item ids, or you can scan items one by one into the box below the upload tool. Once you have your file uploaded or the barcodes listed you can click 'Continue.'

You will be presented with a confirmation screen. From here you can uncheck the items you don't want to modify.

+ +

Below the list of items there will be an item editor. Using this form you can choose which fields you want to edit on all of the records (like applying a note to all of them, or moving them from one library to another).

Once you have made your changes, you can click the 'Go' button and your items will be updated.

Inventory/Stocktaking

How do I use this feature?

+

Inventory/Stocktaking

-

This inventory feature works by using the "Last Seen Date" as criteria for building reports. From these reports the library can identify which items are missing.

+

Koha's Inventory Tool can be used in one of two ways, the first is by printing out a shelf list that you can then mark items off on, or by uploading a text files of barcodes gathered by a portable scanner.

-

How do I get a file of barcodes to upload?

+

If you do not have the ability to use your barcode scanner on the floor of the library, the first option available to you is to generate a shelf list based on criteria you enter.

-

The easiest way to generate the barcode file is to scan the barcodes of all the items on the shelf in situ to a text file. This can be done using a standard keyboard wedge type Barcode scanner and a Laptop, or using a handheld PC with an integrated scanner (e.g Palm or iPaq).

Save the file locally to your machine and then when you are attached to the network, open the Inventory/Stocktaking page again and use the "Browse" feature to find the file on your local drive. Now set the last seen to the date you wish to use (normally today's date).

+

Choose which library, shelving location, call number range, item status and when the item was last seen to generate a shelf list that you can then print to use while walking around the library checking your collection

-

How do I find what items are missing?

+

Alternatively you can export the list to a CSV file for altering in an application on your desktop. Simply check the box next to 'Export to csv file' to generate this file.

-

Now you have set the Last Seen Date of the items, you can use that as a criteria to generate a report. Use the "Select items you want to check" feature to generate this report.

NOTE: If you have scanned all the items in your library, you will not need to change any of the default criteria.

Set the "Not seen since" date to the day before the date you used when you set the "Last Seen Date" when uploading the barcode file.

Press the "Submit" button to generate the list of items that Koha has not seen.

+

Once you have found the items on your shelves you can return to this list and check off the items you found to have the system update the last seen date to today.

+

If you have a portable scanner (or a laptop and USB scanner) you can walk through the library with the scanner in hand and scan barcodes as you come across them. Once finished you can then upload the text file generated by the scanner to Koha

+ +

Choose the text file and the date you want to mark all times as seen and click 'Submit.'
