The one place they are consistently is with the Holdings Template Editor within 
the Holdings Editor.

This has to be set per workstation, there has not been anywhere I can find to 
set this globally currently.

This is also depending on which version of Evergreen you are using.  In 3.2 and 
before there was a default tab with in the Holdings Template Editor in Local 
Administration.
In 3.3 + the default tab is only there when you access the Template Editor with 
in the Holdings Editor.

I am placing a Bug report about this as we discuss this.

Thanks for clarifying that Lynn!

So where are those settings stored now? I don't see any workstation settings 
jump out at me.

Hi,

I'm intrigued by this library setting. It would be useful to set this up for 
our libraries to hide fields we don't use instead of counting on library staff 
to remember to uncheck the fields in the Volume Copy Editor on the Defaults 
tab, workstation by workstation.

We had an incident where a staff member didn't hide/disable the Deposit Amount 
field and accidentally put the price of the item in that field instead of in 
the price field, then was weirded out by an error message that popped up when 
trying to circulate the item. If I could get the library setting to work, we'd 
avoid situations like this.

The instructions for this setting say " This setting may be best maintained 
with the dedicated configuration interface within the Item Attribute Editor. 
However, here it shows up as comma separated list of field identifiers to hide. 
"

The documentation Chapter 14 Settings Overview says, " Sets which fields in the 
Item Attribute Editor to hide in the staff client." and adds " This is useful 
to hide attributes that are not used.  
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/reorg/3.1/staff_client_admin/_settings_overview.html

Where I'm lost is the text of the field identifiers to enter. I've tried column 
names from asset.copy, but have had no luck.

Also, can I set this consortium wide, or do I need to set it library by library?

I appreciate any guidance.

Mary
