Shelf Report Tool

The Shelf Report tool allows you to upload a list of barcodes, then compare that information with the information stored in the Alma database to identify items that are mis-shelved or are missing from inventory.

To use the Shelf Report Tool: 

1. Create a file (either Excel or .txt) with the barcodes for the items you want to run the shelf report on. Use a scanner to scan in barcodes, or enter by hand. 
2. Go to Resources >> Manage Inventory >> Shelf Report
3. Choose how you will define the records for the report:
   1. A call number Range: Choose a Library and Location, a Call Number Type, and define the From and To ends of the range
   2. A pre-existing Set: Before running the tool, create a set of records to run the report on. Use the Physical Items search type and all relevant criteria to define and save your set.
4. Upload the file of barcodes you created.
5. Click Submit
