Monday Minutes: Automatic Holds on Purchase Suggestions
by Jessie Zairo on Jul 22, 2024
In this week's Monday Minutes, Kelly and Jessie are talk about an enhancement that adds a new system preference PlaceHoldsOnOrdersFromSuggestions that allows accepted suggestions to automatically be put on hold for the suggesting patron as soon as the suggested item is ordered.
This automation will make the process so much easier for your staff and patrons! Thank you to our library sponsors from the following libraries who made this development possible!
- Bedford Public Library
- Altadena Library District
- St. Paul's School
Bug 27595 - Place holds for patrons on accepted purchase suggestions
System Preference
There is a new system preference PlaceHoldsOnOrdersFromSuggestions.
- Navigate to Administration
- Global System Preferences
- Search for PlaceHoldsOnOrdersFromSuggestions
- You have 2 options (Do or Don't) place a hold when ordering from a suggestion.
- Click Save all Acquisitions preferences.
The default value is Don't automatically place a hold when ordering from a suggestion.
