Description Lisette Scheer 2023-06-23 18:25:58 UTC
Some groups want the option to default the pickup location to the patron's home library when placing holds on the staff client rather than the logged in branch or the item's location.

This would be a great addition. Having the option to preset a hold by the borrowers.branchcode would be really helpful.

It's not uncommon for staff to place holds for patrons from other branches, and it’s easy to forget to update the pickup location. This could help make the process smoother and reduce the chances of holds being sent to the wrong place.
