- Scan the old key card's barcode for a physical item search to bring up its item record in Alma.
- Take a minute to look at the status of the item. Is it "In place" or something else?
- Click on the barcode hyperlink which will take you to the item edit screen.
- Delete the old barcode number.
- Scan the new key card barcode. The record should automatically save once you scan the barcode. If it doesn't, click save and exit the item record.
Take the key card record out of a work order
- This step is only necessary if the key card item record status is currently anything other than "Item in place".
- From the Fullfillment menu across the top of the screen, select "Scan in items".
- From the drop-down, select the type of work order. Most likely "Circulation Maintenance".
- Change "Done" to "Yes"
- Scan the barcode. Again, Alma will usually update the status automatically. It it doesnt, then click "OK".
Wrapping Up
Now you can put a black line through the barcode on the old key card. You can throw away the old key card. Put the new key card in the drawer at the Circulation desk.
