[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Search range in template toolkit

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the breakdown of the already sponsored pending features and the
unsponsored pending features. I found it very helpful.

I took a look at a version of Template Toolkit that was just updated this
morning and found some more features that might need to be added to the list
of features that exist in the current OPAC but have not yet been added to
Template Toolkit. I'm sure some of these features are a result of
configurations that we just haven't made yet.

* Options when placing holds, most importantly (for us) the ability to
select a monographic part, but also the acceptable formats (which maybe
should just be part of the pending feature for metarecord searching) and the
ability to suspend a hold.
* Support for located URI. Actually, I don't see any 856 fields displaying.
* I don't see anything in the UI for notification preferences, but I'm
guessing this is because I haven't configured anything for the new
Action/Trigger Notification Preferences.
* Also, the release notes mention that "new" serials display, but I added a
subscription via the Alteernative Serials View and received an issue, but
the holdings are not displaying in the Template Toolkit catalog. They do
display in the default catalog.

Thanks!
Kathy
