Description hebah 2025-06-11 13:18:19 UTC
Not for loan is a powerful status with a lot of flexibility for libraries, especially since it has the -/+ holdable but not circulating/does not circulate capability. And many libraries are not using it to full advantage because the only way to edit it is from the edit item form, not easily accessible from the items page (moredetail.pl) like other statuses.

It would be nice if, perhaps by system preference, a library could optionally make editing of the not for loan status available from moredetail.pl. That way libraries that want NFL status updating a bit more locked down can still only access it from editing an item, and libraries that want staff to be able to use more flexible statuses make it more accessible to staff.

Currently, the values on the items tab can be edited by anyone with basic circulation permissions. If we show Not For Loan on this page, would it be editable at the same permission level?

I would think yes, that's a logical correlation.
Comment 3 Angela Berrett 2025-06-13 15:39:44 UTC
This would be nice for records that have a lot of items and you only want to change a couple, but to different statuses.  It can be done on the Items tab instead of loading all items when choosing Edit from the Normal screen and everything has to load in another screen.
