Notes
Please feel free to grammar check and correct the content, thank you
Loans actions in circulation log
What information needs to be logged?
Wire frame: Is there additional information we need in the table?
logging the self checkout machine's transactions?
might be a different user which could be logged or a different service point
Does the log include fine / fee ? yes
logging notes
loan statuses: cancelled, recently returned, in transit (Use Case: tracking missing Items)
should we then differentiate the in transit statuses?
Proxy activity is still not a priority but it would be nice to track:
Check out
fee / fine
request
Do we need the original and changed due date in seperate columns? might be alright to have the changed due date in the description
Do we need the 'not your home circ desk' override to be tracked?
the loan details of items 'claimed returned' should be tracked as well
Information on overrides are important
Which descriptions are most important for check-in?
Prioritization:
Resulting item status
In transit destination, if in transit?
Whether item is overdue
Whether backdated and to when
If claimed returned, if found by library or found by patron
anything from the loan itself?
Proxy yes/no (Thin thread not having it)
Is the anonymization process important (Germans will get back to the RA SIG)
Query search on Users and Requests
How important are the two issues?
For Users App the UXPROD-1015 and also this issue: UXPROD-2092
add drop downs for last name, barcode,
For Duke and Chicago the external id would be important UIU-1363
composed boolean search for the often occurring names: last name, first name (is supported already)
a solution could be a combined index
from the Users SIG: truncation with *
Fielded vs boolean Search?
fielded Search is preferred (easier to train)
consistency throughout the circ apps would be good
