A good thing about Workflows!

We have several display areas and books are sometimes picked up by browsing patrons but not checked out. If the items are left on tables after in-library use, the status, of course, stays as Display. However, here's a good thing about Workflows - you can check the "patron record" for your branch display. I was able to find books that had migrated back to the stacks and check them in.

To see the checkouts for your branch display account, go to Checkout. Type in the user name (e.g. LSDISPLAY). Click to display user. Click checkouts tab. Order them by date clicking on Date Charged. Then to see the call numbers for those that you want to find on the regular shelves, click on the Item IDs - this brings up a "glossary" with the info.
