[Evergreen-acq] Settings on Load MARC Order Records

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hi Tiffany,

I'm pretty sure the Holdings Editor defaults are workstation settings.

If we wanted the defaults to be global I'd advocate for them to be  
able to be set by org unit, so you could set them for a whole  
consortium and then have different settings for a particular library  
if they do something different.
