Josh, FWIW, we have a few libraries that also make use of "same day" checkouts for these types of items like Jeff describes. It's simple, and I haven't heard reports of problems with it. Michele -- Michele M. Morgan, Technical Support Analyst North of Boston Library Exchange, Danvers

Jeff, thank you very much for letting me know about this behavior. We just tried it out and this seems like the simplest solution to get us most of the way there. Josh On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 12:46 PM Jeff Godin wrote: > On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 1:32 PM Josh Stompro via Evergreen-general < >

Hello Ruth, We are not sure we need most of the booking features, so we looked at it but then sort of disregarded it. 1. We are not going to allow holds or reservations, just first come first serve. 2. We don't have multiple types of laptops, just the same setup for each location.

Hello, we are looking at circulating laptops for in building use only, and are looking into options for how to handle the checkout timing. We would like to check out each item until the end of the day. So if a branch closes at 9pm, then we would always set the due date to 9pm for any checkouts

You can use action triggers to send emails and/or SMS text messages to a patron when a hold is cancelled, and you can also use them to add messages to a patron's account that they see in the OPAC. You can set different messages based on the triggers "hold_request.cancel.expire_holds_shelf" (they

Seems like this is something that could be set up using an action/trigger. To have the “re-request” option, there’d likely need to be some deeper involvement to query recently cancelled holds and also provide appropriate links for replacing the hold. Ruth Frasur (she/her) Evergreen

[Evergreen-general] Cancelled/Expired Holds notice

2021-10-26 Thread Terri Moser via Evergreen-general
Would it be possible to have a message pop up to alert a patron when a recent HOLD has expired or been cancelled. It might say something like: A recent HOLD has been cancelled by you or the system because it was not picked up on time. Do you want to re-request it?" It would be really cool if it
