[Koha-devel] Problems with suggestions

[Gaetan Boisson]

I completely agree that this is confusing, and it took my a while to
figure out that when you reach this screen the filter is not empty. (The
site is picked in "acquisition information"), actually if you play a
little with the filter, then click "clear", you go back to a setting
where you only see suggestions made for the site you are connected to.

Like Robin suggested, i think adding a sentence like "By default you
will only see suggestions made at the site you are connected to. Use the
filter to change this behaviour." would solve the problem without
resorting to fancy developments, unicorns and poneys.

Just my 2 cents ;)
