Hold and Item Counters

Various hold counters and item counters display in the Display Title Holds wizard and the Detailed Hold Count helper. The following lists briefly explain each counter.

The hold count is dependent on the SirsiDynix Symphony configuration setting to base the priority on the user’s home library or on the hold pickup library in addition to the Detailed Hold Count helper selections.
