Marketplace updates: Moving titles between carts

If you've logged into Marketplace recently, you may notice that things have changed a bit. On March 12, we released Marketplace v2.5, an update chock-full of new features that addresses some of the most common requests from our library partners. One of the most asked for features: moving and copying titles between carts.

With the update, you can now easily move or copy one title or a bulk of titles from one cart to another from the Carts details page. This will help those libraries and schools with multiple content selectors or those that rely on our Select Express tools such as Holds Manager and RTL for title recommendations. If you are working on an order and would like to transfer a title from one cart to another, please follow the steps below:

Copying titles

  • Begin by opening up the cart containing the titles you wish to copy from the Carts page.
  • Simply select the title(s) using the check box to the left of each title name, and choose the “Copy title(s)” button:

  • When the pop-up window appears, select the option to copy the title(s) to an existing cart. From here you will have 3 choices:
    1. Skip duplicates and keep the number of units in the destination cart
    2. Add number of units in current cart to the number of units in the destination cart
    3. Replace the number of units in the destination cart with the number of units in this cart

  • You can also create a new cart from your selections by choosing the section option “Copy selected title(s) into a new cart” and providing the cart details.
  • Select the “Copy title(s)” button at the bottom, and you’re done!

 

Moving titles

  • Open up the cart containing the titles you wish to transfer from the Carts page.
