Description Kelly McElligott 2021-02-05 20:41:51 UTC
Lists are very helpful and useful to staff and patrons.  A library would like the ability to have a sort of hierarchy of lists. The ability to add lists to a group of lists (subgroups) and organize by this way.  This idea comes from an academic looking to organize by subject, but I can also see this as a branch hierarchical structure or in a public library to do DVDs as a Major List = and then have monthly lists attached to this one major topic. 

I did see this bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20512

that would like to see the ability to sort bugs- which would be nice also.

We are also interested in being able to organize lists hierarchically as well, at a public library.  At our main branch we have adult, teen, and youth lists, and each of our 5 schools also makes lists.  Currently they are in one LONG LIST.  And the pull-down menus are a nightmare when trying to find a particular one.  

I envision something like the reports module, where we can assign a group and a subgroup, maybe even metadata/notes suggested in bug 28795.

We are also a public library and would like to be able to group/categorize lists by kids, tween, teen and adult or even by topics.  If patrons could narrow down the lists to view only the groups they are interested in I think it would increase their usage.

We are a public library and would be interested in organizing lists hierarchically as well. We would use it where each branch could maintain readers advisory lists.
