 Description   

Background
In mid-October 2021, Holly was asked by Cornell University Library to review various issues discovered by CUL Access Services staff while using FOLIO. Holly met with various individuals at Olin and Mann libraries and produced the CORNELL ACCESS SERVICES FOLIO OBSERVATIONS & SUGGESTIONS document, which is available at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwnZpkiw7G0c3EyObRRnjuV6XVMcFNK1lWUG952sFgI/edit?usp=sharing. This feature is ISSUE #20 from that document and has a priority of NOT AS IMPORTANT.

Overview
Many FOLIO icons, such as those in Inventory, serve no purpose and should be removed. This doesn’t impact usage of FOLIO, but is a recommendation.

This is too broad to provide any ranking or understanding as to what the problem is that is trying to be solved.

Thomas Trutt and Wendy Wilcox - you mention as an example the use of icons in Inventory, which do not have a purpose.
I'd like to walk you through the use of icons we use in Inventory, and explain the purpose - when you have time.

Some people are more visual oriented, and here icon helps them to quickly distinct between e.g. full screen view of a holdings record and an item record.

holdings item

The icon with the exclamation mark is used when an instance has been e.g. marked as suppressed from discovery or staff suppressed.

The clipboard icon next to item barcode and the HRID in the instance, holdings and item is used to store the barcode or HRID into the clip board.

And here screen in Agreements using the Instance icon
