Provide multiple hold pickup options within a single Alma library
We'd like to provide, within a single Alma library, the following pickup location/delivery options to our users: locker, circulation desk, or mail to home. At present, this is only possible through the creation of additional libraries.

Perhaps the functionality of the Generic Checkbox field might be expanded to allow for multiple options? Right now we are testing it with just the one checkbox. However, our Library would prefer radio buttons where the default option is "pick-up in library" and the other radio button is contactless locker pickup. The 'value' associated with the selected option could still go into the request comments/notes field. Though it would be better eventually if it had it's own field.

It would also be good to implement this in such a way that the location/delivery option could be communicated via a NCIP AcceptItem message (for example, via an Ext field).

I'd like to add that the ability to set a default pickup location would also help a lot.
