Delete Item Records (Sierra)
- Tammy Poquette
Below are the instructions you would use to delete individual item records as well as batch deleting item records. The item records you delete must be valid for deletion. If one or more of the records to be deleted is not valid for deletion, the system displays a message indicating why each record cannot be deleted.
Delete a Record from the Search / Holds Function or Catalog Function
Retrieve the item record using the Search / Holds Function or Catalog Function. You can retrieve the record by scanning or typing the barcode, or by searching for the title. Use the dropdown menu to change your search type.
You can delete the highlighted item record from the Summary tab. Highlight the item to be deleted and click the Delete button.
The Delete Record(s) box will appear. Click the Yes button to delete the item. Click the No button or the x to stop the deletion. Note: if you click on the Yes button and you receive another popup message you may need to see the Rules for Deletion or the Delete Record Restrictions to see why the item cannot be deleted.
You can also delete the item from the File dropdown menu. First, you must open up the item record. To open up the record, you can double-click on the item record or click on the Record tab.
Click on File in the upper left corner of Sierra and drag the cursor down to Delete Item Record.
The Delete Record(s) box will appear. Click the Yes button to delete the item. Click the No button or the x to stop the deletion. Note: if you click on the Yes button and you receive another popup message you may need to see the Rules for Deletion or the Delete Record Restrictions to see why the item cannot be deleted.
