Display Shelf Location Processing

Display Processing option in the Shelf Locations table in Polaris System Administration (Web-Based) allows you to mark a shelf location as a temporary display location. This ensures that when an item is checked in from temporary display areas, its location automatically updates to the original shelf location, eliminating the need for manual shelf location updates. The automatic shelf location update also occurs when items are checked in through Leap Offline, SIP or the Polaris API.

Example:
Item A’s original shelf location is "Adult Fiction". Its location was temporarily updated to a display shelf location the "Front display table" and then checked out by a patron from that display location. When returned, item A’s shelf location is automatically updated back to its original location the "Adult Fiction", ensuring correct reshelving.

Note:
If an item floats into the organization without an assigned original shelf location to return to, its location will be updated to "None". Shelf locations of items "In-Transit" will not be updated.
