Re: Purchase alert - How to create the list

[Mieko Yamaguchi <iss053@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric,

If I understand you correctly you would like to create a list of items
with 3 or more holds.

In Create Lists you select an empty list, click Copy, then scroll down
past the list of "real" lists and you will see several system generated
lists including one called "Purchase ALERTS".  Copy this list to your
empty file and you will be asked whether you want to remove the file
you are copying from.

Note that an item is added to the list every time a hold is placed on the
item as a third hold or higher.  So the same item may appear multiple
times.  These holds may or may not be active when you view the list.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for...
