Container management

Learn how to create a bound item container, search for previously created bound item containers, and remove items from an existing container.

Bound items are any items you have put in a bound item container so that they can be circulated together.

Guidelines

To add an item to a container:
- The container and item must be in Available status.
- The item must have a barcode to be added to a container.
- The item must have the same holding and shelving location as the container.
- The item must not be a container. You cannot bind a container inside another container.
Circulation actions (checkin/checkout, placing a hold, etc.) apply to all items in the container.
The container cannot be retrieved when searching the Circulation module or WorldCat Discovery, but the items in it can be retrieved. Each item links to the container.
