Hide items from the OPAC based on item type
If you have item types that should not be visible on the OPAC, here’s how to hide all items of that item type.
- Go to Administration › Global system preferences
- Seach for “OpacHiddenItems”
- Click on “Click to Edit”
- In the box, type
itype: [ITEMTYPECODE]
where ITEMTYPECODE is your item type’s code.
For example, if you have an item type called “To verify” and the code is VERIF, you will type
itype: [VERIF]

If you have more than one item type to hide, separate them by commas.
itype: [VERIF, INTERNAL]
WARNING: It is very important not to put any space between itype and the colon, and to put a space after the colon before the opening bracket.
