How To Add Items to an Object Loan
Object loans are “standard” loans that record the loan of catalog record parts.
From the Edit Loan Page
Click the “Add Items” button at the bottom of the page.
The standard Arctos search page will appear, but with a header outlined in red stating: Search, then use “Tools/Add items to Transaction” to add items to the transaction
Search for catalog records as you normally would (e.g. using individual catalog numbers, search parameters, a saved search, or by scanning barcodes)
When the results are displayed, use the Tools Menu and seclect “add items to transaction.” This action will add all results to a Loan Summary page.
From here, select the relevant parts you wish to add to the loan AND their updated disposition status (generally “on loan” for physical objects leaving the permises, “subsampled” for consumptive loans, or “in collection” for in-house or data loans). Disposition may be updated in bulk using the “update default disposition” tool directly above the search results. Only dispositions associated with selected parts will update upon saving (parts that are not selected/not included in the loan will retain their original disposition status even if bulk-updated). Note: Check boxes in the Add column outlined in red indicate that the specified part is already incorporated in another loan. These parts may still be added to the current loan, but the red outline serves as a flag to notify users that the object may not be physically present in the collection.
Click the “Add all checked parts to the transaction” button to finalize. You can then use the “Back to Edit Loan” hypertext at the top of the page to navigate back to the loan record. Once back in the Edit Loan form, all added parts will be viewable via the “review attached items” hypertext. Added loan items are now available to print using a Loan Invoice template.
Pro Tips
There are many customizations available on the Loan Summary page. Operators can filter results by Disposition or Part, use the “Check All” button as a shortcut to quickly add all results to the loan, and turn on or off various fields from the Show/Hide menu to reconfigure the results display.
