Description Kelly McElligott 2020-02-04 13:16:31 UTC
The purpose of the Cart feature is a place to temporary store items that a patron may want to look at without logging into their account on the OPAC.  However, there is no wording to indicate that this is a temporary cart - and this is confusing to patrons.

Wording such as

"Placing items in a cart is temporary- once you log out of the OPAC or close the browser you lose the items in your cart"

Alternatively, could not the cart contents be saved if a patron is logged in?

We had a patron lose 50 items that they'd placed in their cart without realizing they would be lost ...
