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

[Carissa Malmgren]

I've submitted the bug report for this, so if this treatment of monograph parts in the Angular catalog sounds good, or if you want to add to the discussion, give some heat to bug 1848268!

Thanks for the feedback and discussion on this! :)

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.
