https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27213 --- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- The issue here is that we have libraries with a few hundred vendors they use or have used (special libraries tend to have a lot). So a pull down would not work here. Could an auto-complete feature be helpful here? Or only displaying a pull down up to x vendors? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27213 --- Comment #4 from Barbara Johnson <barbara.johnson@bedfordtx.gov> --- I just attended a koha-US Acquisitions Special Interest Group meeting. The group was discussing functionality/features that need improvement for the Acquisitions refresh project. The topic of having the vendor search box on the acq home page be a dropdown that lists the vendors or at least an autocomplete feature came up and everyone in attendance was in favor of adding this type of functionality. If the search box were converted to a dropdown it would allow the exposure of all the vendors, perhaps allowing the user to scroll through and find a vendor whose name they could not recall. On the invoices page the vendors search box is already functioning as a dropdown. When clicking on it the user is presented with the list of vendors. So, it seems this functionality already exists and would be great if it could be added to the acquisitions home page. However, it was pointed out previously that some libraries have hundreds of vendors and that a dropdown would not work. Allowing up to x number of vendors to be shown might work ok. Or maybe this could be a system pref that libraries could turn on/off based on their local needs. Changing this to an autocomplete feature might work well. However, it might not allow the user to find a vendor whose name they don't know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.

You had mentioned something about 'x number of vendors' in comment #1 so I was trying to take into account the libraries who have lots of vendors. But, you're right, I don't know what would be used to limit the number of results. So, I think this idea can be put aside. Personally, I think the select2 dropdown would keep functionality consistent with the invoices page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

A search, maybe also with auto-suggest, would be used with the expectation of a result list, maybe to be able to check some information, merge duplicates etc. So maybe both are needed depending on situation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Having information in the vendor record about the intended use of this vendor could help to reduce the number of values displayed in a dropdown list in the acquisitions module. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
