[Evergreen-general] Questions About Customizing the New Print Templates

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hi Terran,

This is our first library to get a custom pull list template and we  
just set it up for them yesterday so we haven't run into issues with  
multiple versions of the template yet.  This library is one that uses  
their receipt printer for the pull list so the default template wasn't  
working for them.

Looking ahead to the circ receipts moving to this editor with the new  
angular circ I agree that we're going to need a way to allow  
workstation-level customizations.  We currently haven't given  
permissions for libraries to edit their own templates in the new Print  
Templates but we're anticipating that we'll need to do that ahead of  
our next upgrade in 2023.
