Relate Titles tab (Library Manager)

Select Catalog > Update Titles

You can relate, or group, title records, so that any copy of a title in a group can fulfill a hold placed on another title in the group. This functionality is not visible to the patron. Destiny considers all copies of all titles in a related Titles group to be equal candidates for fulfilling a hold request placed on any one of the titles in the group.

To create a group of related titles

  1. If you are not on the Global Update page, then follow the steps in the blue title bar.
  2. Click the Relate Titles tab.
  3. Click +Add.
  4. To identify titles for the group, enter a title keyword in the Find Titles for <group name> box. Then click Go!.
  5. In the search results list, click +Add next to the titles you want to add to the group. The title then moves to the Selected Titles list, which contains the title, author, and first ISBN.

important A title can only belong to one group.

  1. For each group of titles you want, repeat steps 3-5.
  2. When you are done, click Save.

After a group is set up, the related copies can fulfill pending holds. If so, their hold status becomes On Hold and an alert message appears.

During the Title Import process when Destiny reviews a hold, it also checks whether the copy can fulfill a hold on a related title, if available.

note Related titles information appears on the Title Details page if the title is in a group. A Manage button appears for users with the appropriate access level permission. When you select the Manage button, the Edit <group name> page open.
