Item-on-fly: Allowed & field to set

The Item-on-fly: Allowed & field to set option allows you to:

  • specify whether bibliographic and item records can be created during the check-out process ("on-the-fly")
  • identify an item record created "on-the-fly" by storing a message in its ICODE2, IMESSAGE, or STATUS field

By allowing library staff to create records during the check-out process ("on-the-fly"), this option allows patrons to check out items that are not yet in the database.

To enable this option, choose:

Item-on-fly: Allowed & field to set

and follow the prompts.
