Add Process types and statuses in the menu “Manage in Process items”
It would be helpful to be able to search by Call number in the menu « Manage in Process items ».
The list of results cannot be filtered or sorted by modification date, by status or by the operator who did the last change.
The description of the item (Year, Volume, Number…) is also missing from the list and can only be seen by editing the item. It would be helpful for the resource management of serial publications.1 vote -
Process types and statuses in the list of predicted items
In the list of items, we would like to add to the customisation view the ability to see the date on which the process type was last modified. Currently, you have to edit each item and check the 'History' tab to get this information

Enable forcing barcode number for new items
When cataloguing a new item, we wish to force cataloguers to add barcode number before save. If some libraries do not want that, forcing the barcode field could be optional.

Option to restore Temporary Item Policy and Temporary Location when item is returned from Resource Sharing.
Issue: For items that have a temporary item policy or temporary location there should be a way to revert these temporary statuses when the items are returned from a Resource Sharing loan.
When items with these temporary designations are loaned via Resource Sharing Alma applies the Resource Sharing temporary statuses. When the items are returned the Resource Sharing statuses are cleared but library staff need to be able to direct items back to their temporary location. There are many instances when materials that have a temporary status are loaned via Resource Sharing (as we want them to be) but when…0 votes
