Description Kelly McElligott 2019-05-07 13:44:32 UTC
Libraries use the Public List feature a lot for patrons to see them on the OPAC.  It would be very nice to allow staff to disable/enable these public lists -as the Course Reserve module does -as needed.

+1 

This would be incredibly useful.  I don't want to stop the staff from making lists, but I don't necessarily want them all published to the OPAC at the same time.

Hmm. Isnt this just a matter of switching category back and forth?
Note that a few recently pushed reports allow staff to transfer ownership too which enables them to edit the category.

You're right, there are recent changes which make this easier than before.  It's more the scale that's the problem - if you have twenty lists, it's ok, if you have two hundred, it'll take a fair amount of time.

It also requires the manage_patron_lists permission to transfer - and either that means involving a superlibrarian, or giving staff the ability to edit/delete all lists.

Ideally, I'd like to give a group of staff the task of curating which lists can be seen on the OPAC at one time:  

- A toggle for 'display on OPAC / hide from OPAC' to show in the Public Lists table
- The toggle is tied to a permission in a staff member's account (e.g. Lists > Control display of Public Lists on OPAC)
