We also use status flags for this kind of thing at the National Gallery. They're nice and visible on the default data entry screen for objects.

Best wishes

Hi Mary,
For objects under review for possible deaccession we use a status flag - Deaccession Consideration - until the deaccession is final.

Hi Mary;

One possibility might be the creation of a flex field group called "FFG Object Groups". Within this group you could create a variety of logical fields, e.g., Deaccession, Offsite Loan, etc. On each object record check the appropriate field within that group and when you are done you can run an advanced query on that field, or combination of fields, within FFG Object Groups, where the field(s) = Yes.

Hope this helps.
