Description Caroline Cyr La Rose 2024-02-08 21:47:00 UTC
I was looking at the Fast Add framework and noticed there were a lot of unnecessary field, notably $6 and $8 and obsolete fields, which can be confusing (imo) for circulation staff/non-catalogers who would be doing the fast adding.

Bug 36055: Simplify MARC21 Fast Add framework

This patch removes or hides a lot of unecessary fields from the
MARC21 Fast Add framework, notably subfields $6 and $8 which are
used only in advanced cataloging. Fast Add is meant to add an item
fast, while the patron is waiting, in order to check it out to them.
There is no need to enter details, only what is necessary to
identify and check out the item.

To test:
1. Go to Circulation > Fast cataloging
   --> Notice all the fields present
2. Fill out mandatory fields (000, 008, 245$a, 942$c)
3. Click 'Save'
   --> Notice all the item fields present
4. Apply patch and reset
5. Redo steps 1-3
   --> There should be a lot less fields
Comment 2 Caroline Cyr La Rose 2024-02-09 22:21:50 UTC
Here is the list of changes related to the actual FA framework. I only have the 952 left to explain, but it's friday past 5pm... Figured I'd attach something at least.

Feel free to object to my changes. :)

I applied the patch on my Sandbox, which is at 23.12.00, and none of the changes listed above were applied.

Did you reset all? Not sure how this is done on a sandbox. Reset database or restart?

It will not change anything on existing installations, as it is an installer file.
Comment 5 Esther Melander 2024-02-12 20:44:24 UTC
Yes, I had it install the patch when the Sandbox was created.

Bug 36055: Simplify MARC21 Fast Add framework

This patch removes or hides a lot of unecessary fields from the
MARC21 Fast Add framework, notably subfields $6 and $8 which are
used only in advanced cataloging. Fast Add is meant to add an item
fast, while the patron is waiting, in order to check it out to them.
There is no need to enter details, only what is necessary to
identify and check out the item.

To test:
1. Go to Circulation > Fast cataloging
   --> Notice all the fields present
2. Fill out mandatory fields (000, 008, 245$a, 942$c)
3. Click 'Save'
   --> Notice all the item fields present
4. Apply patch and reset
5. Redo steps 1-3
   --> There should be a lot less fields

Comment 7 David Nind 2024-02-12 21:48:49 UTC
Makes sense to me!

Testing notes (using KTD):

1. Apply the patch.
2. Reset everything so it is like a new install: reset_all
