  1. Notes in POL's should only be for notes (not history)

    The notes tab in POL's for serials/journals should only be for notes that pertain to that order. When orders are set to automatic renewal, every year when it renews a note is added saying "PO Line has been renewed automatically". Over the years this note takes over and all of the pertinent notes are moved to the bottom. I am constantly having to remove those automatic renewal notes to keep the important notes at the top. The automatic renewal note should go into the history tab not the note tab.

    Dear all,

    Thank you for sharing this idea.

    I have read it carefully, and would like to make sure that I understand it:

    Current situation:

    There are several processes in PO line workflow which add automatic internal notes, for example:

    - Renewal ("PO Line has been renewed automatically on…")

    - Moving PO line out of PO (""Line was removed from Order ...")

    - other.

    Desired outcome:

    Have a configurable option to disable these notes from being created. Each of these processes is/will be saved in the PO line history.

    Please let me know if this understanding is correct.

    Thanks,

    Zohar Shemesh

  2. Automated holdings management for VLeBooks

    Could we please enable automated holdings management for:

    Database name: VLeBooks
    Database code: 38.
    Provider:Askews and Holts Library Services Ltd
    Default URL: http://www.vlebooks.com/

    I have had difficulty activating e-book titles for this provider in the 360 KB, due to metadata inconsistencies.

    ProQuset and Ex Libris Support suggested that the content team and developers are looking for opportunities to extend the support for the "Automated Holdings Updates" process that is now set up for PQ Ebook Central.

    Since there are now similar processes available for Taylor & Francis books and Springer Nature content, would it be possible to enable this process…

    Hello,

    VLeBooks is on our list for adding as an autoholdings collection in the next year.

    I will update this idea as we reach progress.
