Locations module

The Locations module records details about display and storage locations within an institution for objects recorded in the Catalogue.

When an object is attached to a Locations record and its current location is updated in EMu, an audit trail is automatically generated and displayed on the Location tab of the Catalogue module.

Note: See How to relocate an object for details of relocating objects recorded in the Catalogue module.

How to create a Location

  1. Add a new record in the Locations module.
  2. Select the Location: (Location Type) or Holder: (Location Type) radio button.

    The default Location Type is Location. A Location is a fixed place - a building, floor, room, cabinet, shelf, for example. A Holder can be moved - a case, folder, crate, for example (details about Holder locations above).

  3. Enter a location code in the Location Code: (Identifiers) field.

    The Location code is generally a shorthand form of the Location Hierarchy.

  4. If required, enter a barcode in the Barcode: (Identifiers) field.
  5. Complete the Location Hierarchy fields. E.g.

    Level 1 Building 1
    Level 2 Level 4
    Level 3 Room 10
    Level 4 Cabinet 1

    In this case the Location Code might be 1.4.10.1

  6. Save the record.
