Description Marjorie Barry-Vila 2014-11-14 20:48:46 UTC
Hi,
It would be nice to change the status notforloan when added to a course reserve course as is the case for itemtype, location, homebranch and collection code.

Regards,
Marjorie

I was creating a new bug when I found an old one from my work partner... I decided to put my notes here as a supplement.

Alternative title:
Adding alerts when loaning a record from a course reserve

When the staff put a record in a course reserve (with his barcode for example), the record stay avalable for loan. It must be corrected in a second step for which not all the staff are allowed to do it. Can we add an option "not for loan" when we transfer a record in a reserve ? (It will eliminate a step and some errors possibilities as it's not the same people making the 2 steps. Also, some items may be loaned by error when they are put in a course reserve.

Path :
1) Go to "Course reserves" module
2) Select a course
3) Clic on "Add reserves"
4) On "Add items : scan barcode", I use "02500141x" because I know we already have in the system (put one that you are sure to have)
5) Select the record you entered in the reserve
6) Observe that no option are creating a "not for loan" status ($7) for the record, even if they are put in a reserve, they still available

Then, we must change the status "not for loan" manually in a second step (with some upper staff rights).

I see some solutions for this :
- Add a dropdown menu linked to autorized values from NOT_LOAN function ($7) or at least, a "not for loan" option (y/n) on the same page
- A alert message in a yellow square informing the user that he is about to loan a record in the reserve (with y/n)
- All records put in a reserve will automatically have the "not for loan" status (This status will then return automatically to 0 value when the record exit the reserve.)

Also, one of our users said that before around v3.12, when we are doing a loan from a reserve, we receive an alert "Are you sure you want to loan this record y/n ?" (or something like this.). But now, this message doesn't appears all the time (just when $7 was modified after the first step).

Thanks all,

Alexandre from CCSR

Hi Alexandre, I think a lot of libraries use a different item type while the item is in course reserves that can be set to 'not for loan' or 'for reference'. Maybe this would help? The itemtype will move back to its original value automatically on removing the item from the course.

+1

It would be useful to be able to change the not for loan status as we can change the location, homebranch, etc.

Hi,

this is not the case in 23.05. It would be great to have these options in the course reserve.

Thanks, Patrick.
