Hi Johnnie, Bibliomation implemented Best-Hold Selection Sort Order changes for at least one member library that required a specific approach to holds that differed from the rest of our consortium. I described that use case in more detail in this post to the dev list a few years ago ( http://markmail.org/message/pdksulwazgwzlro4) and that led to the feature's development too. Since implementation, we have had no complaints about hold prioritization for the use case, so I consider that a "Pro" of "it works for us" with no speakable "Cons" for now.
Can you give us a little more information about what potential use case are you hoping to achieve with the feature? Are you trying to raise or prioritize holds for a given subset of libraries? Is it based on geography, distance, political alliances? There are lots of options and not all may result in optimal or expected outcomes... -- Ben On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 10:48 AM, Pippin, Johnnie <johnnie.pip...@ncdcr.gov> wrote: > Good morning, > > > > NC Cardinal is reviewing the Best-Hold Selection Sort Order for holds > placed in our consortium and wanted to gather some information from the > community before we move forward. > > > > Has anyone implemented this process?
