https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 --- Comment #2 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- For article requests it makes sense as it's basically a document delivery where you go to the shelf, grab the serial volume or whatever and copy the requested article for the user. For recalls it might be depending on the new 'allow on-shelf recalls' setting in the circulation rules. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 --- Comment #4 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize@ptfs-europe.com> --- OK.. I find the notion of 'on-shelf recalls' weird then.. I totally don't understand this new feature... it just feels like copy of the existing holds functionality. As for article requests I understand why you'd want that always there.. or rather there for anything that should be allowed an article request regardless of it's current availability... it's more about copyright and scanning of materials that would mean it's unavailable for article requests I would think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 --- Comment #6 from Aleisha Amohia <aleisha@catalyst.net.nz> --- The button to 'Place recall' always shows, because the libraries who were sponsoring the development of this feature for the past few years before it was upstreamed wanted it to be there. This way, users would know the library used recalls, and then be blocked if a particular record could not be recalled, and they could place a reserve instead. As I've said many times before, recalls is not the same as holds, and if you look at the code, there are many differences. Recalls could never use the same code as holds without creating if/else conditions literally everywhere and turning Koha into a very non-scalable, hard to modify, hard to test, system. You don't want to potentially break holds by modifying recalls, and vice versa - they are different services in a library. You're welcome to write a development that wraps this button in a syspref, but this isn't a bug, so please don't remove the ability to have the button there if there aren't recallable items. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 --- Comment #8 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer@bsz-bw.de> --- I think something for the manual would be great and I'd also be very interested to hear how this is used and the thinking process behind it. It's a different thing to the recalls I know and I'd like to understand better when testing and QA'ing any additions in the future, to make sure we have things in mind like the button behavior you pointed out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30942 --- Comment #9 from Aleisha Amohia <aleisha@catalyst.net.nz> --- This mostly covers what is now in upstream, it's been available on the wiki for years: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Catalyst_IT_Recalls Outside of this we have also further developed recalls to be on the staff side for a different library. I'd love to have time to upstream that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
