Oh the turtle talk again, hehe! So, there's been some discussion about this in the past. Here are some links to Launchpad tickets discussing this issue:
"a frog would improve usability of transit slip" (imo, best bug title ever!) -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/763944 "support distinct pop-up images for holds, transits, and hold transits" -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1229757 That second launchpad bug actually points at some useful discussion in a previous email thread on the general list: http://markmail.org/message/wll3kljcyqr2lvpl Notable in the email thread are Bill Ott (GRPL) sharing git code examples and Martha Driscoll (NOBLE) sharing sample images that help to differentiate between the types of events. I think there's enough information contained in these links to put together something useful. The git example from GRPL suggests to me that whatever is decided can be implemented server-side as a potential local customization by whoever runs/hosts the Evergreen system. That all said, it is not too late for someone to pick up where LP#1229757 left off and submit new development / code / suggestions and help plot out a potential new direction for how the community should address this area of Evergreen. -- Ben On Sat, Jul 26, 2014 at 4:32 PM, Robert Heller <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't know if this is a local (C/W Mars) build setting or a not, but when > people are checking in items, either from the Pull List or from the > incoming > ILL bin (or probably the general returns bin), the *same* picture (a > turtle) > shows up, whether the item is for the local holds shelf or for the outbound > ILL bin.
