[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] View Holds Screen

[Fiona Borthwick]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your response.  Ian Bays has already answered the question 
you posed.  Our consortium have the configuration set up to prevent 
members in the other system from placing holds on each other's stock.  
Therefore seeing a full holds list across the entire consortium is of no 
value.

When looking at the View Holds screen, they want to be able to see all 
'holds placed by users who's home library is in my system.'

The 'filter' option is very useful if staff are only interested in 
seeing the holds that are relevant to their particular branch but it 
would be ideal if there was a filter option that allowed staff to select 
'all holds at system level' so that they could see an accurate list of 
holds placed at all libraries in their system.

I hope that helps to clarify the situation.

Thanks!
Fiona
