Check out as proxy - In the scenario when someone is borrowing on behalf of a sponsor, we display both the borrowing patron and the proxy's name on the left. Some SMEs thought it wasn't clear who the book was actually being checked out to. Kimie Kester proposed some minor UI changes in UX-104 which the RA SIG thought was an improvement, but we thought it would be helpful to do some usability testing. | Will kick off by 1st week of AprilDONE | ||
| Navigating between apps using browser for back - Initial usability testing against the universal navigation prototype suggested users wanted a "back" button within FOLIO. That said, the universal navigation prototype didn't actually support going back using the browser's back button. It would be nice to re-test on FOLIO itself which does support the browser back button. Do users still expect/need back functionality in FOLIO? | Will kick off by 1st week of AprilDONE | ||

| Accessing Loan details from other than User record - If you check an item out, you can select "Loan details" from the actions menu (elipses) and that will take you to loan details. Loan Details is implemented as an overlay with a close X in the upper left. I was somewhat surprised to find that clicking that X closed the overlay and left me on the Loans page for the patron instead of back on the checkout page. | Cate Boerema (Deactivated) | Will kick off by 1st week of AprilDONE | |
