I don't know what you mean by "staff hold" flag, honestly, because I don't know of any such flag.

Staff-placed holds can be identified by "the usr is not the requestor".

The usr field is who the hold was placed for. The requestor is who placed the hold. If they are the same then the user placed it for themselves, otherwise it was placed by staff for the user.

I don't think there is currently a reporting source for determining user compared to staff placed within Evergreen itself, though.

Hello,

I am hoping that someone may be able to help me with this. One of our customers needs to be able to distinguish between holds placed via the opac and holds placed by library staff.

We have spent considerable time looking at options within reports but so far not having much success.

We have identified the 'staff hold' flag in the hold record but you don't seem to be able to select upon this in the reports.

This is a requirement for public libraries in the UK so the issue is going to become increasingly more important as more UK libraries start working with Evergreen.

Has anyone managed to find a way of reporting on this?

Many thanks in advance for any help..............

Fiona
