+**Note:** The **[Update]** button and the **[Update]** toolbar icon perform the same task of updating the items in the database. Updated stock statuses are immediate - there is no //package level// update which needs to be performed to ensure that the statuses are recording in the database.
+=== Partial Stock Updates ===
+In order to reduce the level of errors in large stock check (e.g. a pasted file containing thousands of items at the same time) and ensure that notifications of unfound items can fit on the screen and be copied correctly, the number of items that will be processed at any one time is limited to 250.
+If your scanned list is greater that 250, there is no need to manually break the list - Mystic will do this for you. 250 items will be processed, then the list will be reduced by the 250 items that have been processed - simply click the **[Update]** button again to process the next batch.
+Once all items in any input has been processed, the text field is emptied ready for the next text entry, scan or paste.

+==== Recommended Stock Check Strategy ====
+It is recommended that all items that can be scanned (i.e. can be obtained by the stock checking staff) are scanned and entered first. This will obviously include items which are present first.
+Once these have been stock checked, enter those items in your physical possession which are to be **removed** from the catalogue, ensuring that you change the stock checking status to **[Stock Removed]** before updating.
+Finally, you will be able to change the status of all **missing** items, for which logically you are unable to scan.
+In order to change the status of all remaining un-checked items to **missing**:
+  * Change the **[Status]** to **[Stock Missing]** in readiness for data entry
+  * Select the **[Unchecked]** setting in the multi-selection button to display all items which have not yet been checked.
+  * Click the first item in the list, then scroll down to the very last. Hold the **[SHIFT]**((this is the most common mechanism for this process - you may have a different key requirement, depending upon your operating system)) key and **double-click** the last entry to select the entire list and copy all of the accession numbers in this list into the **[Scan / Paste Barcode(s)]** text field.
+  * Click the **[Update]** button to move all remaining items into the **missing** status.
