[Jennifer Pringle]

Hi Josh,

Just want to flag that the Shelving Location Order feature currently  
doesn't work.

> Hello, We currently don't make much use of shelving locations in our

> branch will have a separate shelf for Westerns while another will shelve
> all adult fiction together.  One site will shelve all the Juvenile Fiction
> and J Graphic novels together, and the next site will have separate shelves
> for them.

> Order feature.

> We also float everything between our branches within the same system.
> Floating doesn't try to adjust the shelving location when an item moves
> from one location to another.
>
> So I'm just wondering if anyone has figured out a solution to floating
> between locations that don't have the same shelving locations?

> My thoughts so far are along the lines of a nightly script that tries to

> shelving location for every site across the region, and then move items
> from one to another depending on a specific sites preferences.

> Maybe a DB trigger based on the asset.copy(circ_lib) changing?  But I'm not

> shelving location for the new branch.
