Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Self-Check and locking media cases
I'm late to the thread, but wanted to chime in that we at KCLS make heavy use of the self checkout interface. It's heavily modified, primarily for look and feel, but we are also testing a locally coded version of bug #1512171 (My OPAC-style renewals). Unfortunately the code is not easily shared, since it's built atop years of customization, but we hope to eventually rebase to the community code, so having it be part of stock EG is something I'm interested in. Also, when the time comes for major overhaul, I started a proof-of-concept branch to port self checkout to Angular. It's bare bones, but mostly works, minus a lot of edge case handling. http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/berick/angular-selfcheck-exp-wip I'll open a bug for this... -b On Thu, Jul 27, 2017 at 9:30 AM, Terran McCanna < tmcca...@georgialibraries.org> wrote: > Yes, me too.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Self-Check and locking media cases
Joe, I have a fix for keeping the cursor focus always on the scan box. We also use touch screens for our self checks and we were having trouble with the fact that it was easy to move the focus, which would cause the next scan to silently fail, and sometimes switch screens. I have a bug report on it, but haven’t actually posted the code there yet. I’ll try and do that soon. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1560601 We have also had trouble with the print list button that exists on the checkout screen. Some significant portion of users would press that when they were done, get a printout and then walk away. I guess they thought that was the logout and print a receipt button. Then the next users would walk up and sometime check out items on the first person’s account. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1555791 I would love to collaborate with you on making the self check more touch screen friendly. I can share the css changes I’ve made just to enlarge everything to make it easier to see and to make the buttons easier to press.

Also, if you have an internal process for choosing which development projects to fund, you could add some of the self check bugs to the list of items to consider. We are one of the sites that heavily use the self check feature, it handles between 50% and 90% of the checkouts at our sites. This discussion reminds me that we need to put some time and money into improving it.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Self-Check and locking media cases
While we’re on the subject of user-friendliness of the built in self-checkout, does anyone have any .tt2 modifications that they are pleased with and would be willing to share? I’ve had tweaking the scripting to make the navigation links more button like (ie touch screen friendly) on my to-do list, but it’s taken me an especially long time to get around to the first step of teaching myself a basic amount of tt2 scripting.
