Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Deleted items in the system

2015-01-21 Thread Elizabeth Thomsen
Whether or not "is deleted" should be true or false depends on the report and what it's being used for. The example we use is a report of items added. If you're running a report of the number of items you added in January 2014 to compare them with the number of items you added in January 2015, th

Why is it that we need to set a check box on all reports to exclude them? Seems to me that you would have that checked by default and only UN-check it when you needed to see deleted items. Is it backwards? Yes, you will though I think you can make it the default. The reporter isn't what I wou

To follow up on what Holly said, this is one of the most confusing things to new Evergreen users. Even some staff who have been on Evergreen for years get tripped up by it. All those places where Evergreen uses the term "delete" it doesn't mean delete - it means hide from normal exposure. It's s

Thanks, Elaine. Based on that, it seems that (with appropriate styling and integration) the backend behind the old "slimpac" call number browse does, indeed, fill the need and pretty well matches your definition of a shelf list. Here are a couple example URLs: non-repeating area of call numbers
