An error occurred while saving the comment Dear all,
Thank you for posting this idea and for the helpful comments. We are reviewing this idea, and would like to make sure we fully understand the request.
Since the item description impacts fulfillment functionality, such as requests - changing an item's description unlinks it from any existing patron requests, which can lead to their cancellation.
Our concern is that bulk changes of item descriptions on a set of items could be risky, potentially leading to unintentional mass deletion of patron requests. I would therefore like to make sure that this is the desired functionality (meaning if item descriptions are inaccurate, the requests attached to them are also inaccurate, and request cancellation in this scenario would not cause any data issues).
Thanks! -

As changing the location of an item can impact work orders (not all work order departments can handle all items) - the alert is required and removing it could adversely impact libraries.
We did, however, identify an issue with this alert, which caused it to be shown also for changes that could not impact work order requests (Material Type, Item Policy, Description) - this was fixed in the March 24 release. Following the fix, this alert will no longer be displayed for changes that can't impact work order requests. -

The CloudApp "Item updater by Excel" now allows uploading an Excel spreadsheet in order to bulk edit item information: https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/appcenter/item-updater-by-excel/
For a detailed explanation on working with this app to bulk exit items, see: https://developers.exlibrisgroup.com/blog/how-to-activate-and-use-the-item-updater-by-excel-cloud-app/ -

An error occurred while saving the comment As part of NERS #7948, Add “Not contains” or “Not equals” to Alma Titles and Inventory Search Indexes Where "Contains" or "Equals" Currently Exist, we will be adding not operators as the comment below suggests.
Please note that, since Alma offers combined enriched bibliographic and inventory search index, and it is possible to search titles by inventory information, the behavior of queries which retrieve bibliographic titles using inventory indexes with NOT operators will be as follows: When searching with a lower-level index "not contains" or "not equals", the search will retrieve all results where one or more inventory entities match the query. For example, searching for titles with location "not equals" library A will retrieve a title with items in both library B and library A, as there is an item that matched the search query.
This behavior was agreed upon with the NERS representatives.
Dear all, thank you for posting this idea and for your helpful comments - we are in the process of assessing the complexity of this request, and will update the idea accordingly.
