Using the Pull Items function
Overview
To use the Pull Items function, you must use Data Manager software to export pull lists to a memory card. You
can then select a pull list and use the DLA’s Pull Items function to locate and pull items.
Applications may include:
• Finding hold items
• Finding items that you may want to weed
1. Use Data Manager software to create and export pull lists (see Digital Data
Manager documentation).
You create pull lists from your facility database and then export them to a
memory card using Data Manager software.
2. Use the DLA to locate and pull items.
• The items that you want to pull must be on a pull list that you exported to the
current memory card.
• Select a pull list to use.
• As you pull items from the shelf, you can press Pulled to remove the item from the display and specify it
as pulled.
• Additionally, while using the Pull Items function, the DLA can find and help identify items that are on
active search lists.
3. Use Data Manager software to import pull results
(see Digital Data Manager documentation).
• After you have pulled most of the items on a pull list, there may still be items on the list that you did not
find.
• You can use Data Manager software to import these “pulled” and “not pulled” lists as text files. You can
print or use these text files to update the “request status” on your facility’s item database or for other
purposes.
Each time you import pull results
Data Manager software creates two date-stamped text files for each export operation. The file name contains the
date, number of items in the file, and an indicator (+ or -) that specifies if the items in the file were pulled or not
pulled.
