Overview:

This ticket was generated out of discussions on the 09-22-2024 working group for Reading Room Circulation.

As a Librarian, I require the ability to set a new request to be a Reading room circulation request by default via the request policies.

In scope:

• New / Edit requests policy form:

  • A new field will be added to the Requests policy form: “Reading room circulation request”

    • The setting will be an Upper-level option before the request types allowed

    • Setting is applied to all selected request types on the policy form.

• Request policy summary panel:

  • New value displaying if “reading room circulation request” has been selected or not.

Notes

This setting will be used as a default on all new requests that use the given requests policy.

• Staff UI - The “Reading room circulation request” option would be set to match the request policy.

• Discovery layers - the request would be marked as a “Reading room circulation request” based on the policy.

Permissions:

No extra permissions are needed to edit this field. The already established permissions for View, Edit, Create, Update and Delete the requests policy should be applied.

Out of scope:

• Modifying the request object

• modify the new / edit request form

Questions / Concerns

Todo:

• Backend tickets:

  • Extend the requests policy storage to include the new setting.

    • Current request policies will need to be backfilled with the default value of false (no)

  • Extend the api endpoint <<API ENDPOINT>> to include the stored setting "Reading room circulation"

    • This should be the api endpoint used by the request form when finding out what request types are allowed for the given item / user combination.

• Frontend ticket:

  • Extend the request policy UI form; no error checking is required as the input is not required and it will be a simple check-box

  • Extend the request policy details panel to add the status of the Reading room circulation request setting.
