Hi.
In this configuration either is good as users can only place holds on
material within the same system (Consortium > System > Branches).
I believe there would be a marginal preference for the second option -
"holds placed by users who's home library is in my system" as that would
include holds which as yet have no targets.
Also I understand the specific need has arisen when looking at a
new/popular title and for that title you just want to see the holds for
patrons within your system.
I hope that helps.

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me with this query please. I may be missing a
setting somewhere but have spent a considerable amount of time looking for
the answer.
Our customer would like to be able to see their own 'system' holds when
using the 'View Holds' option under the 'Actions for this Record' menu. The
filter option is not really suitable here as it will only allow them to
filter to one branch. Ideally they would like to be presented with a full
list of holds for their own system. We are finding that we can only filter
to the branch or see the entire consortium holds list.
Do you mean "holds that are currently targeting items in my system" or
"holds placed by users who's home library is in my system" or
something else? OTTOMH, I don't recall if the UI presents a way to do
either of those, but the data is there for both ... but, first we need
to understand the desired outcome.
