Hi Terran,
 Quick question: where under Admin can we disable or enable drop-down menu 
items? 

Thank you,
Scott

Some of our libraries had issues with people accidentally clicking the "Clear 
Holds Shelf" option on the Circulation drop-down menu, so we disabled that 
option. 

Now, when they want to clear the holds shelf, they take one of the two 
approaches that Kathy mentioned.

Hi Scott,

The titles on the holds shelf will remain there until staff explicitly removes 
it from the hold shelf. There are two ways staff can do so:

Retrieve the Browse Holds Shelf interface -> select the checkbox to View 
Clearable Holds -> Click the Clear these Holds button. You then need to scan 
each item in at checkin to send it along to its next destination.

Retrieve the Browse Holds Shelf interface -> select the checkbox to View 
Clearable holds. Then, after staff pull the titles from the holds shelf, they 
can scan them in at checkin using the Clear Holds Shelf checkin modifier.

Scott,

It's not a front-end setting.  See 
http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=evergreen/pines.git;a=commit;h=5ff86fed9461abcd8d9b33e9ef25d4ee1381f6ee.
  We added a file which gets installed to 
/openils/var/web/xul/server/skin/custom.js on your Evergreen application 
server(s) with those lines and it "greys out" the Clear Holds Shelf option.  If 
I remember correctly, that was stolen from Ben Shum ;-).

Hope that's helpful!

Chris
