Hmm.. Going to have to backstep on that serials info I just sent out. I am not
getting issues to check in using the web client ("Failed to save issuance").

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web Client and 3.0
My library upgraded from 2.10.7 to 3.0.0 two weeks ago. Due to many staff being
out, I installed the staff client as well so all staff are still using that
until I do some training. But I'm using the web client on my computer to get
familiar with it.
1. I know receipt templates will need to be recreated manually. Are there
any other similar configuration-related gotchas?
None that I've encountered.
2. Can Serials and Acquisitions be used?
I can only speak for Serials (I don't use Acq, ever). I haven't created a new
subscription from scratch, but I am using it for daily addition of issues. It
works, but the way fields render is... funky. Many of the text boxes and
drop-down menus are just too small. For example, in the Quick Receive screen,
the box for entering the Call Number is so short that it only shows a few
characters, even when the browser is maximized:

What I've found is that shrinking the browser until it pops into this style
works much better for readability (which tells me the web client is going to
look great on a tablet!):

Aside from that, I've done some stumbling around to find options simply because
it's a new-to-me interface. Some poking is required, unlike the circ mod which
is so familiar even in its new form, so I wouldn't recommend using Serials
unless you're open to putting in more effort (and deep breaths).
3. Have you discovered any serious problems?
The only big issue we've encountered so far is related to reports not running
and/or link to generated reports broken, but that is not web client related.
I recommend using the web client when you have patience, and keep the staff
client available for when you just need to do something quick and/or without
using as much brain power. I'm sure I'll quickly figure out the web client and
the staff client will look foreign to me (as happened when I looked back at our
old ILS prior to Evergreen). Bravo to all who have been working on this!

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web Client and 3.0
Hi,
Is anyone using the web client in production against 3.0? If so, I have a
few questions:
1. I know receipt templates will need to be recreated manually. Are there
any other similar configuration-related gotchas?
2. Can Serials and Acquisitions be used?
3. Have you discovered any serious problems?
Thank you,
Scott
