--- Comment #1 from Alexandre <alexandre.breton at ccsr.qc.ca> ---
I was creating a new bug when I found an old one from my work partner... I
decided to put my notes here as a supplement.

Alternative title:
Adding alerts when loaning a record from a course reserve

When the staff put a record in a course reserve (with his barcode for example),
the record stay avalable for loan. It must be corrected in a second step for
which not all the staff are allowed to do it. Can we add an option "not for
loan" when we transfer a record in a reserve ? (It will eliminate a step and
some errors possibilities as it's not the same people making the 2 steps. Also,
some items may be loaned by error when they are put in a course reserve.

Path :
1) Go to "Course reserves" module
2) Select a course
3) Clic on "Add reserves"
4) On "Add items : scan barcode", I use "02500141x" because I know we already
have in the system (put one that you are sure to have)
5) Select the record you entered in the reserve
6) Observe that no option are creating a "not for loan" status ($7) for the
record, even if they are put in a reserve, they still available

Then, we must change the status "not for loan" manually in a second step (with
some upper staff rights).

I see some solutions for this :
- Add a dropdown menu linked to autorized values from NOT_LOAN function ($7) or
at least, a "not for loan" option (y/n) on the same page
- A alert message in a yellow square informing the user that he is about to
loan a record in the reserve (with y/n)
- All records put in a reserve will automatically have the "not for loan"
status (This status will then return automatically to 0 value when the record
exit the reserve.)

Also, one of our users said that before around v3.12, when we are doing a loan
from a reserve, we receive an alert "Are you sure you want to loan this record
y/n ?" (or something like this.). But now, this message doesn't appears all the
time (just when $7 was modified after the first step).

Thanks all,

Alexandre from CCSR
