Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Catalog holds status display - Hold queue and potential copies

[Diane Disbro]

I am very interested to hear if someone has done something with this other
than try to explain to disgruntled patrons why they see in their online
account that they are next in the queue for an item but they wait weeks or
months to get it.

Thank you, Josh, for asking.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Catalog holds status display - Hold queue and potential copies

[Josh Stompro]

Hello, Those of you that use age hold protection and non FIFO best hold 
selection sort order, what have you done with the status column of holds in 
your catalog.  We just noticed that it is showing the FIFO queue position for 
holds, along with all potential copies.  This gives users bad info since for us 
holds are sometimes filled in FIFO order for some orgs, and are filled based on 
proximity for other locations.  And since one org uses age hold protection, the 
total copy count isn't accurate either since half the copies might be age hold 
protected so they cannot fill the users holds.

Did you just remove that section from templates/opac/parts/hold_status.tt2?  
Did you modify it in some way?  I would like to see examples of what you 
changed it to if you changed it.

Should the potential copies count exclude copies that are age hold protected 
and cannot be captured for that hold?  Right now it pulls from hold copy map, 
but it looks like restricting the copy count based on the age hold protection 
might be possible to add.

Thanks
Josh

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] changing shelving location of multiple items at one time

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

If you look at the bug in question, you'll see that there is a fix being 
tested at the moment. There were some issues found with the fix, but 
developers are indeed working on this issue.

Hi Diane,

This is listed in Launchpad as a bug which says in the web client you 
can not edit items as a batch


https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1691861

I tried editing mulltiple items on our training server and got the 
same results you did.

Diane,

You can still make batch changes, like shelving location, to items 
using the Item Status screen, as well as in Copy Buckets.  You'll scan 
in all the items, check their boxes, then go to Edit: Items in the 
Actions menu.  Any changes you make in the Copy Editor will be applied 
to all the items you checked.  Be sure that your pop-up blocker is off 
or set to accept pop-ups from Evergreen.


Sincerely,

Debbie

Good afternoon –

In the XULrunner, we can change the shelving location of multiple

that Webby? Copy buckets will be our only option for changing more

Thank you.
