The SmartBin and Sort Assist at Central have been updated and are now checking in all items in the manner expected.

The workflow for check in is as follows:

1. All items returned through the Smart Bin will be automatically checked in.
2. All items must then be placed on the Sort Assist.
3. Each item will be backlit by a coloured bar:

Green = Central item
Blue = Hold (A slip will be produced)
Pink = In transit to MB
Blue = In transit to Law
Orange = In transit to Edu
Grey = In transit to EPS
Purple = In transit to Storage (additional info of Storage codes on screen)
Yellow = In transit to High Demand.

A message will also display in the righthand column of the Sort Assist screen, stating where the item is in transit to or who it is going on hold for (‘Home’ items have a tick).

4. Place each item on the appropriate shelving trolley, transit hamper or the hold shelf.

The only items that now need to also be checked in through Horizon are High Demand Items. These must be checked in before being returned to the High Demand area.

There is no need to check in any other regular issue items unless you are cancelling a hold as we will no longer be producing In Transit Slips.

We have tested all the check in scenarios we could think of but if you identify any issues while using the Sort Assist please email Library E-Services as soon as possible.
This information will be added to the Lending pages on the wiki and a colour guide will be posted by the Sort Assist.
