Auto-Hide
Tools > Preferences > Researcher > Researcher
SYSTEM Preference
Auto-Hide preferences allow you to hide titles that do not have any physical copies in circulation from your Explore, Scout, Search, and Slideshow results. Electronic resources will not be hidden. This can be helpful when adding title record information in advance of incoming copies.
Here are a few things you should know before you enable this preference:
- Titles will only be hidden if all copies are checked out to a system patron you've chosen to hide from search results, but they do not have to be checked out to the same system patron. For example:
- The title in question has four copies, all of which are checked out to a system patron: two are Lost, one is In Processing, and one is On Repair.
- The title will be hidden if you've opted to hide Lost, In Processing, and On Repair items.
- The title will be shown if you've opted to hide Lost and On Repair but not In Processing.
- The title in question has four copies, all of which are checked out to a system patron: two are Lost, one is In Processing, and one is On Repair.
If the status of a previously hidden copy is updated to Available or it's checked out to a system patron that you have not opted to hide, the title will be included in search results again.
- Title records that have the Don't Show in Researcher setting checked are hidden from search results, regardless of their status and your Auto-Hide selections.
