http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2532 Summary: Patron-requested holds limited to one item per bib. Product: Koha Version: HEAD Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: galen.charlton@liblime.com ReportedBy: rch@liblime.com QAContact: koha-bugs@lists.koha.org The current holds implementation limits a hold to be either title-level or item-level, and only one outstanding hold may be placed at a time. This is a significant shortcoming, especially for serial records, where a patron may wish to request several issues. There should be some way to distinguish whether all item records attached to a bib record are equivalent in the sense of fulfilling a hold request. I feel at this stage that using the biblio.serial flag should be sufficient for this. ( However, note that the existence of a series title can trigger the serial flag. I think that is a behavior added by BibLibre, and should be addressed). If there is such a flag, then we can allow multiple item-level requests on a single bib, and, on fulfillment, cancel all other hold requests if items are determined to be equivalent. There is some code for this tucked away in the dev_week branch, though I imagine at this point the holds code will need to be refactored such that that code is irrelevant. In short, this enhancement request is for allowance of multiple concurrent item-level, but a precursor I think is the stated interpretation of the biblio.serial flag as indicating that multiple concurrent item-level holds are _not_ equivalent, where in all other cases they are. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
