I know that DIG volunteers have created an overall spreadsheet to track
what documentation is needed, so I would ask on the DIG list to see if this
topic is on the spreadsheet or not, and if so, where it will fit in. The
easiest way to do this is by emailing
I'd be happy to write up a summary of what I've learned here, but it's hard
to write good draft documentation without some sense of where it would go.
Is there someplace in the docs where Evergreens general architecture and
concepts are explained? Or maybe it would make sense for it to go with
DIG is always welcome to documentation contributions! You can send new or
updated documentation in any format (Word, Google Doc, etc.) to
evergreen-documentat...@list.evergreen-ils.org and a volunteer will work on
putting it into the correct format for inclusion.

Thanks, everyone! This is all super helpful. That said, the fact that no
one has linked to straightforward documentation, while it makes me feel
better about not finding it myself, does make me think that we need to
improve our documentation here. Short of attending a DIG meeting, what is
the best
Hi Ben,

Hi Benjamin,
Here are a few thoughts, some of which are documented in places...
- Besides staff editing an item directly, what are the other conditions

Benjamin,
I have documented statuses for PINES that might answer some of your
questions --

I do indicate where statuses are staff editable/assignable or system
controlled. System controlled means that the status cannot
I'm wondering if anyone can help me with something. I am trying to create a
report of non-deleted items that have a current claims returned. The templates
I have worked with so far are all failing when I try to add the deleted=f
filter. Additionally, when I put together queries in the database
Hi, folks!
I've been unable to find documentation of how item statuses work! Could
someone point me in the right direction?
I know there is a list of item status and instructions for adding new
status at Evergreen docs / System Administration From the Staff Client /

Hi Benjamin,
Our consortium shares resources heavily. We do not have many hold policies
in place since, by default, everything is holdable everywhere.
For items and collections that are not holdable at all, we generally set
the Holdable flag to False in Shelving Locations or items themselves
Hi Benjamin, others may be able to give additional details, but the Transit
Range is used to determine how "far" an item could potentially travel from its
circ_lib to the pickup_ou for that hold policy to apply. So if a policy has a
transit range of 2, that policy only matches if a copy would
