Description Kyle M Hall 2020-07-20 13:52:13 UTC
There are circumstances where higher priority holds are not trapped for a given item. These reasons range from requiring specific item or itemtype, to a hold being suspending, to a hold being given local holds priority.

I think the best way to accomplish this would be to capture a list of the skipped holds and the reason for skipping them, then pass that to the template for display on the checkin screen when an item is trapped to fill a hold. This feedback would be especially useful if *none* of the holds were trapped for the given item.
