Flag required in Itemised Sets for adding other items at the same holding
The ability in the Itemised Set facility to add contents from a file to a Set is useful, but we feel it could be made more useful still.
We require something whereby, having read the contents of a list of item barcodes, Alma will find any other items based at the same holding as a given item on the list and add those to the Itemised Set as well.
There is a very definite need for this functionality for any Alma user tasked with working through Sets created from lists of item barcodes in order to identify items requiring withdrawal. Typically they may wish to keep one copy of the title in question and withdraw all of the others; it therefore clearly makes greater sense for all copies of that title to be in the list at once, so as to help the user identify how many copies they can safely withdraw.
The workflow I envisage is essentially:
1) Alma user opts to create an Itemised Set,
2) They click on the folder icon for Add Contents From File To Set and select the usual sort of text file full of item barcodes, clicking on Open,
3) The file name appears in the Add Contents From File To Set window. At the point at which the user clicks on Add Members To Set, a pop-up box appears, asking them whether they want to add all other items at the same holding to the Set (Yes/No).
