Hi John,
I have not seen definitive descriptions of the fields, and would be happy if somebody can indicate if this exists. What I use to find my way around the Evergreen tables is mostly the Evergreen 1.6 schema , which does not have column descriptions but tracing through foreign key relationships (which are very helpfully hyperlinked) helps quite a bit. To tease out what a particular column gets used for may also require some searching through source code to see where it gets used, but that can become a daunting undertaking.

Some are obvious, like barcode. Others less so (to me), like “circulate as MARC type.” Is there a list anywhere that defines all the various item fields? I’m working on a migration from Millennium and need to figure out what to map to where. Thanks! John D.
