Thank you guys for the extra work of double scanning at check-in over the last month. There has been a big decrease in the number of items found on the shelf that are still checked out.
At this point, I will leave it up to you to decide if you will continue to double scan items. For me, I will continue to double scan just to be safe. I trust you to decide what works best for you. There may be instances where you feel it is best to double scan and instances where you feel it is unnecessary.
If we see an uptick in items on the shelf that have not been checked in, we may return to the practice across the department.
My main takeaways from the last month are:
- Please make sure you are watching the Check-in screen while doing check-in. The scanner will beep even if the item has not been checked in because you are not in Polaris or because your cursor is not in the correct field. Make sure you see that after you scan, the item’s information goes across the Check-in screen.
- Please scan every item you find on a desk, table, or counter through the Check-in screen to make sure it is checked in and to verify the shelf location.
As always, thanks so much and let me know if you have questions.
