I was wondering if anyone from the listserv ever reached out with a better workflow? I have a very similar process and it's tedious and time consuming. I'd love to cut out some steps as well. </div>

<div>
<div>I'm not satisfied with the workflows my department has around technical service holds; it seems like there must be a better way!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have seperate accounts according to various technical services tasks (overaly, recutter, reclassify) that we use to place holds. This works great in that it gets us the materials we need and all we have to do is look at the slip to remember why we requested
the item. But the process of cancelling those holds and editing the items is very tedious. Currently we:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Scan the items on Item status</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Click on each title, view the hold list, and cancel our hold</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Check in all the items that don't have additional holds, to clear on the On Holdshelf status</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Scan all the items on Item Status</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Edit all the items with a status of reshelving to have a status of "In process"</li><li style="margin-left:15px">Go ahead with our original task of reclassifying, recurring, or whatever</li></ul>
<div>We normally aren't dealing with a lot of items at once, but we deal with this regularly, and occasionally we do have a larger batch where all that scanning really is a burden. Is there an Evergreen mechanism I don't know about we should be using? Or some
clever workflow that would save us some time?</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
