Meeting Notes
- Update Quesnelia
- Staff slips (holds)
- ECS
- Mediated and private request work
a. Staff slips for holds UXPROD 4047
Use case:a library has many holdings and copies but not all are cataloged. Will need to print staff slips for holds to search for a copy to fulfill the hold request
Settings: Allow print hold requests
It is only possible to print the slips associated with the pick up service point you are logged in and only those for holds with the status ‘open – not yet filled’ (follows a similar logic like the pick slips for pages)
Q Julie: When are the search slips no longer available for print?
A Anne: as soon as the status “open – not yet filled” is updated they are no longer available for print.
Cheryl: That means the slips can be printed more than once as long as they have the status “open – not yet filled”
Anne: There is a feature worked on to deter double pick slip printing (UXPROD 4404) – as soon as there is more clarity about that there will be an information in slack
Olga: Is it possible to print multiple slips on the same page?
Anne: As of now no. Right now the logic is a single page for each slip
Workarounds:
Leah: use printer window to adjust
Laurence: export and filter in excel
David: app for this in Chicago
Tom: there is an open story to print multiple slips per page
b. ECS support for TLR UXPROD 4559
LOC has an consortia like setup that is why ECS support for TLR is needed
Technical information about this is not yet ready to be shared
At the moment the circ settings are updated – TLR is moved into the circ settings and out of the request settings
Q Julie: What is the aim of this work?
A Steph: It will then be possible looking for items across tenants, check availability, circ rules, place requests from their main working area and no need to jump around
Q Susan: Why moving settings for TLR out of requests? What is the rationale for moving?
A Steph: Consortia, private and mediated requests are different features but linked. The settings are at a higher level than only in requests app which gives more flexibility (e.g. maybe you want to allow TLR for regular requests but not for mediated requests)
Anne: Anticipation of future mediated requests app which can be used by libraries consortia but also by single tenants. It is kind of setting the stage for these features to come.
c. Mediated requests and private requests UXPROD 4657
LoC needs feature to enable human intervention in the request workflow
Will be new app which is designed as base for development of LoC private requests (congressional loans)
Technical tenant work is required for this as well.
The new app (Mediated requests app/ MRA) adds functionality that the community can also use and might help to advance requests app in general.
Private requests can then be enabled in the mediated requests app. The mediated requests will be displayed in the requests queue. The feature is developed as streamlined as possible.
Q Julie: How could this be used in my library for example. How to make this as functional for as many libraries as possible?
Example for use of MRA: a smaller group of colleagues with access to MRA work as gatekeepers to collections (special collections for example). Those who do not have access to MRA can participate through requests app
2. Bug
Scenario: Book is overdue, returned, fine is generated, another user checked it ou , keeps it too long, item gets aged to lost
First user pays fine – loan status changes in ‘lost and paid’ but the loan is still open.
Cornelia set up a sheet for test cases.
It seems that this behavior is seen in case that any charges associated with the first loan are paid and there is a second loan which has the status aged to lost – this loan is closed.
Behavior of claimed returned has to be tested through under the above scenario and conditions.
Cornelia will write up the bug.
Thanks to everyone for this team effort.
3. Julie highlights that the dev dashboards are very helpful to look at and discuss features beforehand. Julie offers help to understand dev dashboards.
