Ramsons release updates

        • Export list (csv) has changed to these two options

        • Q: possible confusion with terminology “visible columns” maybe change to “selected columns”

          • Agreement by all to clarifying the terminology and easy to change prior to Ramsons release.

Implementation topics

Updates for:

New feature to discuss:

  • Display enumeration, chronology, volume, and display summary with effective call number for items and holdings. These are in draft. Do we need to add the new “Display summary” field which is present only in the item? There are 2 aspects to this.

Comments from chat:

  • It's not always the item for effective location. It gets tiered down from the holdings

  • It would be helpful to have the Item effective call number and the permanent call number & location.

  • Need for enhancements to the Inventory API(s) so the data in Lists (and perhaps Bulk Edit) stays in sync

    • Important for Cross App interactions

    • And other API endpoints that could be utilized by the Lists app
