View LHR Change History

Discover how to enable and view the LHR Change History.

Overview

The LHR Change History allows you to view a list of actions performed on a local holdings record. Actions that display in the LHR Change History include edits to LHR fields such as the call number, branch or shelving location, barcode, notes, and more. The LHR Change History table is disabled by default and must be enabled in the WorldShare Record Manager panel. Enabling it will cause the LHR Change History to appear throughout Record Manager, Circulation, and Acquisitions.

The LHR Change History is available to WMS libraries only. A user at a WMS library with the Cataloging Admin role assigned can enable and view the LHR Change History. Users at WMS libraries with the following roles can view the LHR Change History if it has been enabled, but cannot enable or disable it themselves: 

  • LHR History Viewer
  • Cataloging Full

Refer to Record Manager account roles for more information.
