1 Alternate Patron Hold Pickup
2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3 This feature adds a bit of convenience to a common task: checking out
4 an item on hold to another patron (typically a family member or helper).
6 When you checkout the item, you will get a pop-up window with warnings associated
7 with this item. The "ITEM_ON_HOLDS_SHELF" message is now expanded to
9 * Let you know the name of the person who had placed the hold.
10 * Give you the option (in the form of a checkbox) of cancelling the
11 hold placed by the above-named patron. (Checked = Cancel the hold;
12 Uncheked = Leave the hold in place)
14 The initial value of the checkbox is derived from the circ.clear_hold_on_checkout
15 organizational setting. This is found under Administration -- Server Administration -- Org Unit Setting Types
17 If the operator has CANCEL_HOLD privilege, then if the checkbox is checked and the checkout is allowed to proceed,
18 the hold will be cancelled with a note that the item was checked out to another patrron.
20 This feature is available in the browser-based staff client.
