Description Laura Escamilla 2024-06-12 17:35:47 UTC
To recreate:
1. Go to Item Search and do a search. 
2. Under the ItemType column attempt to do a search such as "Books". It shows "No data available in the table" even though "Books" is an available item type. 
3. Attempt to do the same search using "BK", which is the item type code for "Books". This will filter the column for just "Books". 

This is also affecting the shelving location. Previously both those columns had a dropdown for selecting the search filter.

Commenting for visibility!

Our staff users don't know the item type or location codes.  Every other page in the staff interface uses the descriptions, so the item search filters also need to use the descriptions.  

Thanks!

+1!!

Can this be bumped in somebody's fix-it queue?  This behavior is inconsistent with all other search functionality because it requires knowledge of the underlying location code rather than the description.  Thanks!
