Now that I have done my inventory, how can I remove my lost and discarded copies? 

Before making any changes, it is recommended that you run the Discarded Copies and Lost Copies reports to get a list of what will be removed. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Go to Operations 
  • Select Reports
  • Categories: Copies 
  • Select Lost Copies 
  • Select Run
  • Repeat the steps for Discarded Copies 

Once you have reviewed your reports and are ready to remove the lost and discarded copies, follow these steps:

  • Go to Operations 
  • Select Utilities
  • Categories: Copies
  • Select Remove Lost Copies 
  • In the Selections tab, you can enter the selections you want to filter your utility. You can just leave this section blank to remove all discarded or lost copies.
  • Select Run
  • Repeat the steps for Discarded Copies

Please keep in mind that using these utilities will permanently remove all lost and/or discarded items from your Alexandria database.
