Notes

Update on item notes

Item statuses as they relate to loans

  • Discussed which statuses could be triggered by checkins
    • Some statuses will trigger other processes upon checkin
  • Question of workflow-supporting statuses (e.g., in bindery) came up; tabled for future meeting

Loans on item record

  • Interest in making fields shown dynamic, especially not showing previous borrower when item was already checked out to someone else
  • If possible to make dynamic, means discussing fields shown for every item status
  • Item status date is important regardless
