Description Lisette Scheer 2019-05-17 17:03:19 UTC
When using library search groups, the title of the group shows up in advanced search rather than the description. 
The description doesn't seem to be present anywhere except when calling <<X|GROUPS>> in a report. 
This seems confusing as most places the description label is what will show in pulldowns (both in Auth. values and itypes parameter setup.)

Bug 22937: Display library search group descriptions

Instead of their "title"

Test plan:
Create a group of library with a title and a description
On the advanced search pages (OPAC & staff) confirm the the description
is displayed
Edit the group of library and remove its description
The "title" must now be displayed

I am not sure if this is a bug or a case of 'needs better labelling'. 

While we use internal codes for things like libraries/branches and itemtypes that we enter in the GUI, the library groups feature uses a numeric primary key. Unlike a code, the title shown in the GUI can be changed anytime and I think is supposed to be the display text, while the description can be used to give more information to staff. 

Example how I'd use it:

Title: South Germany
Description: Grouping all branches in Bavaria and BW into a hold group.

I think if we changed this now, libraries who used it like this won't be happy.

Adding Kyle for another opinion.

I think probably it needs better labeling. 
I can definitely see how people have used descriptions differently. 
When BWS set up our groups when the feature was added our descriptions were very similar to our titles.

It should be <div class="hint"> instead of <span> :)
Comment 7 Lisette Scheer 2020-03-27 16:12:01 UTC
The hint only shows when you are editing an existing group, not when creating a group.
