Add “Additional ID” as an option for the costumized view on the pages “Scan In Items” and “Manage Patron Services”
Today, when “Additional ID” is used as pickup number for borrowers picking up their hold requests, the librarian will not be able to see the Additional ID when scanning a book with a hold request on the “scan in item”-page. To see the "Additional ID", the librarian will need to enter the “Active Hold Shelf»-page.
This makes the process difficult for the librarian, when he or she needs to manually write the “Additional ID” on the pick up-slip that is placed in the book.
If “Additional ID” were added as an option for the costumized view on the “Scan In Items”-page, this process would be a lot easier for the librarian, which would be able to see the "Additional ID" instantly after scanning a book with a hold request.
To be able to help patrons locate their books on the hold shelf, “Additional ID” should also be available through the costumized view on the “Manage Patron Services”-page.

Yes! Couldn’t agree more about making the additional ID visible in other parts of Alma, such as Manage Patron Services. Here’s another idea to vote for that raises this issue as well: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173-alma/suggestions/47420759-show-additional-id-under-manage-patron-services
