> Evergreen has lots of alerts - we tracked them for a week once. One thing I want to mention is that it was an intentional design decision that certain workflows got "halted" by pop-up alerts, and there was a great fear of users accidentally "scanning through" an alert without noticing.
It seems like we've been slowly trying to mitigate the consequences of that decision, for example, with the menu option Checkin Modifiers->Ignore Pre-cataloged Items and the experimental Fast Entry (Asynchronous) checkbox, and culminating in the "Suppress popup-dialogs during check-in" library setting. It may be time to rethink this behavior from the ground-up, or at the very least, better document it (I had forgotten all about that library setting, despite having wrote it, and I bet a lot of folk would love to have it enabled). -- Jason Etheridge | Support Manager | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
