Assign copies to categories (Follett Destiny® Library Manager)

Whether you are editing an existing copy or adding new ones, you can assign them to one or more categories.

  1. To assign this copy (or these copies) to an existing category, select its Assigned check box in the Copy Categories list.

    To add a new category:

    1. Enter a name of up to 30 characters next to Add Copy Category.
    2. If desired, clear the Restricted check box. (not available for district catalogers)
      Restricted categories are only visible to patrons with permission to Add/edit/delete/assign copy categories.
      Patrons with the Copy categories search permission can view unrestricted categories.
    3. Click Add.

    The category appears in the Copy Categories list with its Assigned check box selected.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Make sure to click Save Copies back in Add Copies or Save Copy back in Edit Copy.
Other ways to assign copies to categories
  • Duplicate an existing copy. Any categories the duplicated copy had are automatically included.
  • In Individual Update in Update Copies, select a category and scan the copy barcodes.
  • In Global Update in Update Copies, move copies from one category to another.
  • Import MARC records that contain information in the 852_xFSC@b field.
  • Assign categories in Import Titles.

Please note that, while you can assign a copy to any number of copy categories, Export Titles includes only the first 8 categories.
