Description Katrin Fischer 2018-06-01 08:47:20 UTC
At the moment the pick-up location a user selects in the OPAC will decide which library the article request shows up for in the interface. The tabs are organized by pick-up location.

- There is no label stating it's the pickup location in the staff interface.
- The pick-up library is not necessarily the library, that will the article request. So for processing new article requests the workflow is not ideal, as the library always has to switch to 'all libraries' in order to see requests they possibly have to process.

As Koha allows article requests to be set on record level, Koha doesn't know which libraries might be able to fill the article request. So it might be best to optionally allow setting to "all libraries" and also adapt the note on the dashboard accordingly.
