This patch adds new options to the LocalHoldsPriority system preference to allow for the following options:
'None' the equivalent to 'Don't' pre-patch
'GiveLibrary' the equivalent to 'Do' pre-patch
'GiveLibraryAndGroup' Allows for checking the library first, then hold groups
'GiveGroup' Allows to prioritize within a group without prioritizing any library first.
The included patches will update the preference in existing installations to maintain current behavior.
To Test:
BEFORE APPLYING THE PATCH
/Setup Groups and confirm current behavior/
1. Set the " LocalHoldsPriority " system preference to "Give", "LocalHoldsPriorityPatronControl" to "home library" and "LocalHoldsPriorityItemControl" to "home library"
2. Create 2 Library hold Groups
- I called mine group 1 & group 2
3. Add 2 libraries each to each group.
- Group 1
- Centerville
- Fairfield
- Group 2
- Fairview
- Franklin
4. Find a patron for each branch in the groups
- Centerville - 23529000035676 (Henry)
- Fairfield - Changed 23529000050113
- Fairview - Changed 23529001000463 (Edna)
- Franklin - 23529000121682
5. Find a record with at least 2 items
6. If needed change the home and holding libraries so you have at least one item for each hold group
- Centerville - 39999000000252
- Fairview - Changed 39999000000238
7. Place 2 record level holds for the record.
- One for 23529000035676 for pickup at Centerville (Priority 1)
- One for 23529001000463 for pickup at fairview (Priority 2)
