Description Cab Vinton 2012-05-11 14:13:56 UTC
There is no audible difference when checking in items on hold for another patron vs. items not on hold.

This means our circ staff will generally continue scanning items to be checked in (without checking the monitor) -- in vain, however, since a dialog box is waiting for confirmation of the hold.

I think there should be a different audio cue, similar to the different cue for bad barcodes/ items not found. In both cases, it serves as a prompt to check the monitor for important information.

Hi Cab,
I am resetting the version to master since this is the version new features get developed against. It's possible that release mainatainers will backport new features/bugfixes, but 3.4.x is no longer maintained, 3.6.x and 3.8.x the currently supported release cylcles.

This should be doable with the new audio alerts system now!

OK, thank you, Katrin!
