[Evergreen-general] Transits

[Jessica Woolford]

Laura, you're correct - the checkin staff and workstation is only recorded
if the item was previously checked out and the checkin is ending a
circulation. It would, however, record the staff that put the item into
transit as the last editing user since that staff member effectively
changed the status, presuming no other changes have been made to the item
in the meantime. That info is available in the column picker as well. We
recently created a report template that filters on item status and the home
library of the last editing user. If "In Transit" was chosen as the copy
status when the report is run, this should get you the information you're
looking for in most cases. Here are the columns and filters used for the
report:

Columns: Shelving Location, Circ Modifier, Call Number, Author, Title, TCN
Value, Status, Item Barcode, Publication Year, Creation Date, Active Date,
Last Circulation Date, Copy Status Change Date/Time, Last Edit Date/Time,
State Circ Code, Price, Total Circulation Count, Last Editing Staff Username
Filters: Not Deleted, Copy Status Changed Date (between), Owning Library
(in list), Copy Status (in list), Last Editing User Home Library (in list)

I hope that helps!
Jessica
