Item status

Find definitions of item statuses and sub-statuses in Wise.

Item statuses are defined in the Item status tables. Statuses that are viewed by customers are defined in the table (EXSTPL) Public status item and statuses that are viewed by staff are defined in the table (ITSTLB) Client status item. Both are located in the Wise configuration manager at OCLC Wise > Items and locations > Items > Item status.

(EXSSTA) Item (sub)status (OCLC)

This table contains the list of system-wide supported combinations of item statuses and sub-statuses. It lists the system-wide supported combinations of statuses and sub-statuses that have their own specific meanings. In the case of other combinations, the value of the sub-status is ignored.

For example, an additional auxiliary table is used for status A—as a result, more variants may occur locally for this main status.

The following item statuses are defined in Wise:

(EXSTPL) Public status item and (ITSTLB) Client status item 

Item status descriptions can be edited to display differently at the public and client levels. Descriptions are limited to 21 characters. Sub-status descriptions cannot be changed.

 Note: The public status EXSTPL can no longer be changed with the move to Angular. For more information about how status is displayed in the OPAC, see Title detail page

For an explanation of the codes, see (EXSSTA) Item (sub)status (OCLC) above. Only the additional codes (digital statuses) are listed below. For more information on the system tables in the Manager related to Catalog settings, see Catalog system tables configuration.

 Note: The statuses of digital items are not included in reports; they only include statuses for physical items.

Status Explanation
B See status C, Y, and Z.
C

A digital (catalog) status for items that have been "Just Received". This status is displayed if the item status is ‘B’, a reshelving time has been configured for the branch, and the item was returned recently enough that the configured reshelving time has not elapsed. See Branches for more information about the Manager branch setting that controls this. 

M This status is shown in the catalog for items with status U plus sub-status F-N-R or for items that are long overdue, in hopes of preventing hold requests that cannot be honored.
U See status M.
Y A digital status. This description is displayed if the branch status is ‘B’ but the option Hold request for storage shelf to storage module? in the PLT table is set to Yes for the shelf the item is assigned to. 
Z A digital status. This description is displayed if the branch status is ‘B’ but the item has a loan block in place.
