â–ºCataloguing Reference Data> Sub-locations
This is a physical area within a specific Location - for example, Ground Floor, First Floor and so on. A Sub-location record is unique to a specific Location record.
They are created in the Locations domain; any existing Sub-locations records can be viewed in Cataloguing Reference Data> Sub-locations.
How is the Sub-location information displayed?
When viewing Availability / Copy information, the Sub-location for the Copy is displayed in parentheses after the Location name, whenever the Location is displayed - e.g. copies hit lists:
9064573465 | Main Library (First Floor) 362.17 BER | Standard | Available |
One of the Sub-locations for a Location can be flagged as default, so that when new Copies are created and the default Location is populated, the default Sub-location is also automatically populated.
 Caution: OLIB displays a message if you attempt to delete a Sub-location that is currently in use for any Copy records - these would have to be changed first.
If you edit a Copy's Location and that Location has a default Sub-location then the Sub-location will be automatically added to the Copy record.
