424.4.1 View a set[//]

When you select the option View set in the overview screen for an inventory list, a overview screen will be displayed with a report concerning the comparison performed on the selected set.

Fields on the screen

Total number: system list - all items in the system list are displayed in this field.

Total number: inventory list - all items in the inventory list are displayed in this field.

System list: not in inventory list - the items that are in the system list but not in the inventory list are displayed in this field; possible reasons include: the items have been stolen, the items are in a different place on the shelves, the items were not been included in the inventory list (perhaps you forgot to scan them).

System list: not in catalogue any more - the items that are in the system list but no longer in the automated catalogue are listed here; this can only occur if the items have been deleted between the time that the system list was compiled and the comparison was performed.

System list: on loan - the items in the system list that are on loan are listed here. This list should normally be empty. If not, you probably did not exclude borrowed items when selecting the system list.

System list: reserved - the items in the system list that are included in reservation requests are listed here. This list should normally be empty. If not, you probably did not exclude items included in reservation requests when selecting the system list.

System list: special status (administration, exchange collection) - the items in the system list that have a special administrative status are displayed here (for example 'included in an exchange collection under construction').

System list: special status (lost, missing, claimed returned) - the items in the system list that have a special status as added via the status option in AFO 423 or 413 are displayed here (for example 'missing', 'lost', 'claimed returned' etc.).

Inventory list: not in catalogue (any more) - the items that are in the inventory list but no longer in the automated catalogue are listed here. This can only occur if the items have been deleted between the time that the inventory list was compiled and the comparison was performed.

Inventory list: on loan - this field indicates the items that are on the inventory list but that have the status 'borrowed' in the system. Items with this status should, of course, not be on the shelves and should be returned using AFO 412 so that they can be borrowed again.

Inventory list: reserved - this field indicates the items that are on the inventory list but which have the status 'reserved' in the system. These items should, of course, not be on the shelves but the action required depends on the exact reservation request status (available or not).

Inventory list: belongs to another institution - this field indicates the items that belong to the collection of a different institution.

Inventory list: belongs to another location - this field indicates the items that belong to the collection of a different location.

Inventory list: belongs to another sublocation - this field indicates the items that belong to a sublocation other than that entered when the comparison between the inventory and system lists was performed.

Inventory list: other status - this field indicates the items that are in the inventory list but not in the system list, and that do not belong in categories 8 to 13.

Inventory list: claimed returned - this field indicates the items that are in the inventory list and have a special status (as added via the status option in AFO 423 or 413) of 'claimed returned'.

Inventory list: lost or missing - this field indicates the items that are in the inventory list and have a special status (as added via the status option in AFO 423 or 413) of 'lost' or 'missing'.

Inventory list: other special status - this field indicates the items that are in the inventory list and have any other special status as added via the status option in AFO 423 or 413.
