Triggered by discussion about bug 33662 we've discussed adding the order search form to the acquisition start page. This would be consistent with other module start pages that offer search options, like serials and patrons. It would also save some clicks. We've discussions some variations: * Generally the vendor search and pending suggestions on top were preferred * The order search could/should be shortened to take not up so much space * We could add less/more or a link to the full page * Ideally already entered search terms would be kept when switching to the full form page
Created attachment 155899 [details] Screenshot showing the order form This screenshot is just an example of how it might look *without* any fields hidden. I hope Acquisitions-users will give opinions on which fields should be included.
Is it very bad to like it as it is? :)
I like the suggested layout and search methods from the attachment. We have A LOT of vendors, and several are duplicated (Amazon from all different countries, etc) and being able to search by the titles we ordered, the basket group, or the author would save a lot of time.

Hi Angela, maybe until this is available to you it would help you to add a link to the Advanced search to the start page somewhere? We got bug 33662 coming, but I think using intranetnav or similar we could give you better access in older versions too.
