Are you referring to the notes/alerts/blocks listed under Messages within the patron account? You can control how far out into your system staff members see these notes and alerts under Standing Penalties. Admin -> Local Administration -> Standing Penalties. You will want to specify the org_depth for the penalty in question. What I am noticing, though, is that the adjustment to the org_depth does not retroactively make the notes visible further out in the system. It will only apply to the notes or alerts I add after I adjust my org_depth. Perhaps others out there know a trick or two to get the older messages to display further out into your system? Does this help?

Are notes, alerts and messages specific to the branch where they were placed? System generated messages show up in both locations (and are preceded by the abbreviation for our library system). Notes by staff are preceded by the abbreviation for the branch where the workstation was registered. Is there a library setting somewhere to make these visible across all our branches?
