Request status

The current status for each request is determined when the request is retrieved as a single request or when the request is opened in the results grid.  

 Note:  The label used for request statuses can be customized to suit local requirements. Contact OCLC Support and indicate the status label(s) you would like to modify and what you would prefer to use instead.

The status depends on a number of factors, including:

Status Used when

Name of the current RequestFlow queue. For example:

  • Print Request
  • Scan or Update - Internal

Richieste

  • not yet updated as a loan, or
  • no Reason Unfilled has been assigned
  • Reason Unfilled has been assigned but no message sent

Annullato The patron requesting library has canceled the request or staff has updated the request indicating the requester has canceled, i.e., assigned Reason Unfilled = "Request Cancelled (CRQ)"


Tabs

When a single request displays or a request is selected in the results grid, one or more tabs display depending on the current status of the request.  

Currently the possible tabs are:  

Prestito The Ship Loan tab displays when a request is in a Scan or Update queue, i.e., the bookband has been printed or emailed.

This tab is used to update a request when:

  • loaning an item or items to another library
Non riempito The Unfilled tab displays prior to the request being shipped/loaned This tab is used to indicate a reason for non-supply, e.g., Not on shelf, No locations found
Bib Info The Bib Info tab always displays. This tab is used to view bibliographic information from the request and to update it as required.

The duplicate request option in this tab includes the following options:
  • Duplicate patron request
  • Duplicate patron request (keyword)
  • Duplicate system request
  • Duplicate system request (keyword)
