Hi Hugh, I think the item level/bib level hold settings only apply to the OPAC, in staff it's always been possible to do both, assuming staff will have a reason asking for a specific item. But we could imagine a warning like you suggest or maybe a note? Hi Katrin Yes, staff can override, but they already get an warning when overriding unallowed item level holds, whereas they don't get a warning when they override unallowed bib level holds. Which versions are you using? I see: "Item level hold not allowed from OPAC" and "Item level hold forced from OPAC" Added by bug 14695 We're currently on 16.11 but I think I confused two different things. I have updated the name of the ticket accordingly. All of the below refers to the staff interface (intranet) When holds are only allowed at bib level, there is a note next to each item saying: "Item level hold not allowed from OPAC" When holds are forced to item level, there is a note next to each item saying: "Item level hold forced from OPAC" However, there are effectively two 'sections' for placing holds - staff can place bib-level holds without really looking at the items, and if they don't see the note next to the items they can easily place a bib-level hold against the rules with no further warning. If the hold policy in 'Default holds policy by item type' is set to 'No holds allowed', there is a pop-up alert saying either 'This item normally cannot be put on hold' or 'None of these items can normally be put on hold for this user', then 'Place hold?' If the circulation rules force or prevent holds at item level, there should be a similar pop-up warning and confirmation before staff can place a hold in contravention of the rules. |
