Searching for Items
Dashboard
You can search straight away from the dashboard once you have logged in as a standard
user. This will return all items available to you now.
Standard search
A basic search is carried out using the orange search button in the top right corner.
By clicking this button and leaving everything else blank, the system will search
all items available to the individual logged in.
Leave the free text box blank if you want to browse. Or filter the search by adding
a key word or use the drop down menu.
The search tabs
When a search is carried out, by default resources within the primary organisation
(your organisation) are displayed first. If there are no items added by fellow members
of staff, the message is “no items available”.
Click the other tabs to show items available in other organisations. The Warp It
club tab is usually local organisations. The “Other Warp It” tab details items available
nationally. If you cannot see the other tabs it means your admin has restricted
the view.
Item availability
If an item is available it is detailed on the thumbnail. The item will either show
“Available” if inside your organisation or “Expires on XYZ” if available in other
organisations. Click into the record and claim the item if appropriate.
Item not available yet
If an item is not available to you, it means it is still being used by somebody
else OR if you are looking at a 3rd party’s item it means that the item is still
being advertised internally to their staff.
However the item can be added to a watch list by clicking the green “Remind me”
button. A notification is sent if the item becomes available. If the item is claimed
by an internal member of staff before this date, unfortunately the potential claimant
will miss out as the primary organisation is always prioritised.
