[Bill Coffey]

I just hope if they do try some sort of server type of upkeep they keep in mind I have several locations I have to take care of and they require different information.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] - Re: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Proposal: Server Managed Print Templates

As someone who knows almost nothing about the implementation, but uses the software, I just want to say how much I like flexibility and ease of use of the current system that lets me use HTML, CSS, and javascript in the templates. The fact that these basic web development skills are just what I need for templates, and that I can include code to manipulate strings or do calculations in the templates, is great. I hope that whatever implementation we use, it continues to offer this power and level of familiarity.

This sounds like a really fantastic proposal, Bill.  I really like the
idea of being able to save print templates per org.

+1 from me
