[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: View Holds Screen

[Tina Ji (Project Sitka)]

We are facing the same issue.

On View Holds screen from a title record, holds can be filtered by  
Pickup (Requesting) Library. If the Filter checkbox is selected, on  
the OU tree you can only select a branch. Our multi-branch libraries  
want to view a list of all holds to be picked up at any branch of  
their library. It would be great if libraries can scale up and down  
the OU tree to view the holds within the selected scope.
