[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] straw poll, call numbers in check-in screen
In EG 2.1, we--well, I, this was before we started doing sign-offs--removed the call number column from the list in the Check In interface (in the name of fewer network calls and improved performance), and maybe should not have. I know of at least two libraries that miss it. How do others feel? Should it be restored outright, or made into a configurable option?

Yes, please restore it. Having the call number as on option on the check in screen can be very helpful when you are trying to identify problems.

Is everything in the column picker retrieved, even if it's not currently displayed? If so, the long term solution may be to only request from the server what will actually be shown (or the smallest superset necessary) and only retrieve things like call numbers when they're requested. Adding a column with this arrangement would leave some columns blank, but to see those the items could just be scanned again. That way those that need to save network calls can not show it, and those that prefer to display it can take the hit, without having to bother with another setting. Also, I'd vote for it to go back in.

In this case, since rows are inserted at the top of the list, they all get fleshed and retrieved. And there's no standard mechanism for per column retrieval based on column visibility. If so, the long term solution may be to only request from the server what will actually be shown (or the smallest superset necessary) and only retrieve things like call numbers when they're requested. I think that's where we're heading, long term--not sending large objects across the wire unless we really need them. I'll work up a branch restoring the call number (and prefix and suffix).

I concur with everyone else to restore the call number. I've heard from a couple of libraries that would like to see the call number at check in.

Hi Jason, Sitka's preference is also to restore the call number, as most of our sites will expect to see this at check-in.
