Description Juanita Jayne 2025-04-16 10:31:32 UTC
Suggestion to lock the itype column (circulation and fine rules) in place to better administer changes across the table. Maybe also have the editing line land just under the row being edited instead of all the way at the bottom? If this is repetitive or available in a newer version, my apologies. I couldn't find an existing bug that addressed this.
Comment 1 Juanita Jayne 2025-04-16 10:42:18 UTC
Actually, the itype column plus the Action column should be locked together.
Comment 2 Laura O'Neil 2025-12-11 19:10:29 UTC
+1, setting the first three columns (Patron category, Item type, and Actions) to "stick" as you scroll to the right would make editing the circ rules much easier.
Comment 3 Stephanie 2025-12-11 19:12:03 UTC
Similarly, I’d like to suggest adding duplicate Patron Category and Item Type columns at the end of the table as well. This would make it easier to identify each row without having to shrink the screen down to an unreadable ant size.
Comment 4 Stephanie 2025-12-11 19:13:01 UTC
I just saw Laura's suggestion -- that would even better.
Comment 5 Katie Bliss 2025-12-17 17:22:47 UTC
+1 Agree with Laura's suggestion to have the first three columns "stick" as you scroll right. It would be super helpful!
