Make Order Status field available in the Interested In Letter XSL
We would like additional Purchase Order fields added to the XSL available for the ‘Interested In Letter’ please, specifically the Order Status field. This will enable us to use conditional statements in the letter template so that certain blocks of text can be included or hidden depending on a given field. We take that approach already with other Alma letters. For example, in the ‘On Hold Shelf Letter’ template, we use <xsl:if> statements to draw on the Pickup Location available in the XSL and display different guidance to recipients depending on the location from which they are collecting a request.
The ‘Interested In Letter’ is triggered by any change of Order Status. Currently, not being able to change the contents of the letter in relation to status means that the wording has to be so generic that it isn’t helpful to our Interested Users.
If the Order Status field were available as part of the ‘Interested In Letter’ XSL, we could include <xsl:if> elements in the ‘Interested In Letter template to send different text out to Interested Users depending on the Order Status. This would make the email more relevant for each person who receives it.
