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.

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Looking for field definitions for item records 




Hi all, 



I’ve searched the documentation, the source code, and Google, and I can’t turn 
up definitions of the various item fields in Evergreen. 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!
