How to Run On Display Report

A PDF of these instructions is available along with a one minute recording.

As staff add and remove items from being On Display, it is important to review this list to make sure our records accurately reflect where items physically are. This report can be run straight from the Alma interface by using the advanced search option.

1. First, click on the magnifying glass icon on the top left of the screen and make sure you are searching in the Physical items scope. If it is not selected, click the drop-down arrow and select from there.

2. Next, click on the Physical item drop down menu title and scroll all the way down to the end and select Temporary physical location.

3. Leave the second drop-down menu to Equals and choose your location and collection by clicking on the down arrow and scrolling to the selected location(s) - you can select more than one if your location has multiple display locations.

4. The Results screen will show you how many items are On Display as well as Material Type, Library, and Process Type. If you want to export the list to Excel, click the icon circled in red below:
