[Evergreen-general] Deleting shelving locations

[Kathryn Riedener]

One option is to rename the shelving location so it appears at the bottom of your list. At Pioneer when we have a shelving location that is no longer in use, we rename it with ZZZ at the beginning (ex. ZZZChildren's Puppets) -- this makes the obsolete shelving location re-sort to the bottom of your list of options. We've found doing this helps to reduce staff confusion.

Perfect! Thanks Rogan. So in a scenario like I mentioned, that old shelving location will still be a visible option to choose when filtering on Shelving Locations in a report?

Hi Kate, 
This is another instance where "DELETE" actually means "update the database entry to set a deleted flag but keep it there" just as with many other things in Evergreen so using the delete option doesn't actually delete the copy location. It will prevent it from being used for new copies but old entires like deleted copies, circs, etc... will still reference it.

Are there any negative impacts on statistics if a shelving location is deleted? If I'm doing a circ report and that location is no longer available, are those historical circs moved to the current shelving location?
