Set Up Options
• Should we run a report to inventory items that are checked out, or would you rather catch them as they are returned?
• Do you want to reset your inventory to 0 and last inventory date to NEVER or do you like to keep a history?
• Inventory everything or work in sections?

Reports
• Before you begin scanning – reset inventory and inventory checked out items
• After you scan-looking for items not scanned, moving missing items to Discard

Items not Inventoried
• After the report is run, do one more check for these if you wish
• Scan what you find using the Inventory Items Wizard
• Anything left over – decide how to deal with these items

Mobile Circ
• Use a mobile device and wireless scanner to inventory items without taking them back to your desk
• Turn off “check shelving order” to speed up the process
