This table will be shown when there are active **Supply a Copy **requests based on the filters assigned.


> ✅ If you do not see this table, then either there are no current requests for Supply a Copy Requests or you may want to try adjusting the filters, for example to show All Requests rather than ones that can only be fulfilled immediately.


The Table itself is made up of a number of columns, with a row for every requested title an example of which is shown here: > Macro (inline-media-image)



### **Select column**

User can select one or more requests and then use one of the function buttons at the top of the screen, for example Confirm, Cancel or export selected requests. 

> ✅ You can select all rows by clicking the checkbox in the column header.

 Green tick indicates the Title has copies available in your office that can be used to fulfil this request. 

  
> Macro (inline-media-image)

 Orange tick indicates the Title has no copies in your office but there are copies in another office, titles with orange tick may require the user to use the Transfer function, found under More in the Actions column. 

  
> Macro (inline-media-image)
