List of Home Delivery Request to print labels and inform courier company
We manage a big number of home delivery requests. Alma does not allow you to create a list of loans of home delivery to print labels and send the list to the courier company.
The only way to do it is the day after by Analytics or developing a custom solution using webhooks and users API, to have it the same day.
It is necessary to make a list of patrons name, address, zip code, city, telephone and email address to print labels and create a csv file to be imported to the courier company software.
We can't wait a day to print labels because the loan period starts the day. Some software adds a number of days to compensate delivery days and manipulation, but Alma does not.
We have been sending books home since we opened the library and the software that we had allowed us to do this report the current day to work properly.
I hope other institutions are in the same situation and help us voting for this improvement.
