[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] View Holds Screen

[Ian Bays]

Hi.
In this configuration either is good as users can only place holds on 
material within the same system (Consortium > System > Branches).
I believe there would be a marginal preference for the second option - 
"holds placed by users who's home library is in my system" as that would 
include holds which as yet have no targets.
Also I understand the specific need has arisen when looking at a 
new/popular title and for that title you just want to see the holds for 
patrons within your system.
I hope that helps.
