[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Documentation for Adding Holdings with Monograph Parts

You're right, and I missed that piece when I was reviewing the documentation.

There are three permissions we needed to give catalogers -  
CREATE_MONOGRAPH_PART, UPDATE_MONOGRAPH_PART DELETE_MONOGRAPH_PART -  
and, since a part is shared by all libraries in the consortium, they  
needed to be applied at the consortial level. This sentence should  
probably be replaced with:

"The CREATE_MONOGRAPH_PART, UPDATE_MONOGRAPH_PART and  
DELETE_MONOGRAPH_PART permissions need to be applied at the consortial  
level to use this feature."

Robert, what is the best way to update the community docs with that  
information? Should I be submitting a bug through Launchpad?

You can add a part to an existing item by using the "replace barcode"  
option from holdings maintenance. When using the unified copy/volume  
editor, you can also add/edit a part by selecting "edit items."

This is something that should probably be incorporated into the  
documentation for "Using the Copy Editor to Make Changes." In looking  
at the 2.1 documentation outline -  
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs_2.1:outline - it  
looks like we're still looking for a volunteer to create those docs.

Thanks for reporting these issues Sarah!
