Availability for Horizon Web Services users

If you use Horizon Web Services, you can configure Portfolio to display availability information in search results and detail displays.

With this feature enabled for a search source site, the software will automatically add a Status column to the detail display. The Status column either displays the current location of an item or indicates that the item is currently checked out.
