Use the Shelving Status Options dialog box to set a period of time after check-in during which an item’s status is displayed as "Shelving" (or another appropriate description). See Setting Shelving Status.

Note:
The shelving status settings for the transacting branch are used when an item is checked in.

• Enable shelving status - When the option is selected, other controls on the dialog box become available.
• Display text - (System level only) The status text to display when an item is checked in and the status changes to "In". Use the default text or specify any description that will make sense to your patrons, such as "Sorting" or "Recent Return".
• Time to Display -The time in hours or minutes for which the "Shelving" (or other description) status is displayed for the selected material type.
• If an item is re-scanned .... 
  • Clock is reset - When this option is selected and the item is scanned again, the specified time period to display the shelving status description starts again, as if the item were being checked in the first time.
  • Shelving status will expire at the time already set - When this option is selected, and the item is scanned again, the “clock” is not reset. The shelving status description expires at the end of the original period.
  • Circulation status will display as In - When this option is selected, and the item is scanned again, the shelving status description is no longer displayed. In the PAC and staff client Find Tool, the circulation status will be displayed as "In".
