With the new grouping option in our holdings, we are now much closer to being able to place different formats in the same record.  However, we still need a little work in terms of holds.

I can place different formats in the same record, and I can force the holds to specific items, but it may not be the format the patron wants.  There are few modifications I would like to see happen:

1) It would be preferable if in the circulation rules, the OPAC item level hold dropdown were changed to multiple choice selections, so we can check if we want to allow any first available, first available in group, or item level, or any combination.
2) There should be a staff side version of these choices as well.  We should be able to control the staff's choices as well.
2) We should have the option of pre-selecting an item or not.  There needs to be a way to make the patron make a selection, rather than once being made for them.  Particularly if patrons might want to get a first available in a group rather than a specific item.
