Status of new items ingested into Alma

[jwalz]

Tara asked me to upload the cataloging guides that I created during the migration.  I have three, all for various ways of using Connexion to export records into Alma:

1.  Connexion-Alma Gateway Export explains how to set up the gateway export option in Connexion and then create holdings records in Alma

2. Using the Connexion Import Profile - just what it says

3. Using the Connexion Import Profile - Batch Option - same as above for those who prefer to run batches in Connexion

Thanks!    Not really what we are doing though.   I need to know if Alma automatically assigns a status or location when items are added.   

  In other words, no matter how you import records, do those records get an AUTOMATIC status??   Something like "in processing" or "cataloging" or "we have this in the back room"?   OR is everything automatically - upon import - made "available"??   

  We would REALLY like an intermediate state - where items can be processed - BEFORE they are 'available'.   Is there one?  And can we assign a time period to it?   Or does it have to be changed manually?

Thanks for any help!
