[Evergreen-catalogers] Monograph Parts in the new Angular catalog

[Jane Sandberg]

This looks good to me, Carissa.  Thanks for bringing this issue forward.

My only comment: before a developer starts working on this, we should
clarify exactly when the "12 of 12 parts" language kicks in.  Is it as
soon as there are some monograph parts attached to the record in the
Monograph Parts tab?  Does at least one item have to associated with a
part?  Do all items have to be associated with parts?  What about when
multiple bib records are combined in the Group Formats and Editions
search?

If you already have good recommendations for these, they would be good
to include in the bug report.  Otherwise, that might make an
interesting discussion topic (either in the bug, or on this email
list).  :-)

Thanks again,

   -Jane

I said I’d create a bug report for this, but (since this is my first bug report) wanted to solicit some input before doing so. Does this work for a bug report? Is it a good/appropriate way to start this discussion?

This makes it sound like a library has 12 copies of Futurama: The Complete Series available (rather than 12 parts of one copy available), and has been confusing for patrons and staff.
