[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Holds on ILL records

[Coleman, Marlene]

Hi Elaine,

We have tried the copy level hold, and it "sometimes works" right away ,but not always. If we create a hold and then capture it, the system will send an email notice, and alert the customer.  Our ILL team also wants the record in the database(as a brief record instead of a pre-cat) for tracking information. It seems natural to place a hold on it, for the customer, so staff also know it's waiting for them.  For some reason the targeter doesn't recognize these template records quickly.

Marlene, 

I have been away from the office off and on for the last few weeks and am trying to catch up on lists. If you don't mind my asking -- why do you want to put a hold on the temp record for an ILL? Have you tried a copy level hold?
