I'm on the fence about this one. On the one hand - we run into the same
scenario, absolutely. I find it hard to imagine any public library
doesn't. On the other hand our policies regarding privacy and patron
accounts might keep us from taking advantage of such a feature despite it's
utility.
I believe the improved workflow is (more of less) how our current closed-source
ILS does things - so it would certainly be of use for us, and a feature our
staff would want to have.

Hello,
We are using Evergreen 2.3.7 on Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, Only the
Administrator only can Register Patron, Edit Patron Account Details. We
would like to know, how we can assign this permission to other staff in the
Circulation Section
We have assigned Create User and Edit User permissions
Hi,
When I first tested 2.4 and found the alert message was gone I saw that as an
improvement with one less click to do.
This barcode link is part of a circulation program staff use regularly so I do
not think there is a mystery for most staff about the result of clicking on the
link.
It is always nice to have less clicks!
Thanks,
Geoff

Morning Jayaraj,
I'm no expert, but have you gone into the Admin--User Permission Editor
for the accounts in question? Sometimes, depending upon whether you have a
single library or consortium, you might have to adjust the depth of the
permissions. Sometimes, in cases like this, I've actually
Hi Jayaraj,
You should also make sure you have assigned a working location for the
user. You can do this through the User Permission Editor that Tony
described below.

I'm probably of the minority in that while I would like some kind of user
feedback I dealt with this by saying to staff it's there, don't worry
about it. In the grand scheme of training issues during an upgrade it was
too small in my mind to worry about. If it was addressed that would be
nice
In addition to what has already been said, you should also check the
relevant permission group policies associated with the logins. There needs
to be a relevant value in the Editing Permission to allow staff logins to
create or edit user records.

Fiona is correct. You generally need to also include the relevant
group permission associated with any given profile group. For
example, group_application.user.patron being the given
application_perm for the default Patrons group.
I'll refer to this thread of discussion from a few months ago
We heard about this possible development at the Evergreen roundtable at NELA
and were very excited -- this is, hands down, our number one staff complaint of
'something that makes us think longingly of our old system'.
Right now, our library handles the permission issues totally offline: Patron
I'd also like to add a +1 to this conversation.

Second, when most people see an underlined link, they are not at all
likely to expect that clicking on the link will copy the value because
that is a very unusual thing for clicking on a link to do.
This, thousand times.
There should be more consistency with the UI in staff client -

How about just an option to turn alerting on or off? I know that I
generally don't want to be told when something succeeds. I generally
only care about failures.

I agree with Aaron, it ought to be highlight and right click like everything
else from Office suites to the World Wide Web.
Thanks,

Do they have the Permissions group_application.user and
group_application.user.patron . If not then they will not be able to add
new patrons or edit patrons. This allows the staff to add and remove users
from the user and patron Groups. Patron profiles are tied directly into
these groups.
Something along this line would be a welcome addition in Clarendon.

But this conversation is coming up with great ideas!

Thanks, Kathy. Our libraries will love it.
Added my thought below. Hoping it may further facilitate the front line staff.

staff receive a prompt saying that the item is on hold for somebody

For the simple yes/no vote I'll add my voice as a heavy daily user of

Long term, however, I agree that the click link to copy is probably

I remember thinking that it was very odd when I first started with Evergreen,
