Rapido UI 'Sets': Lending Request Filter Options Should Include Requested Resource Type: Article, Chapter, or Book
Sometimes a request is generated from a physical material record, but the user wants digital fulfillment.
Digital and print resource-sharing fulfillment are completely separate workflows for us. If this is true for others as well, it would help to be able to see if a request is for a book-chapter or article rather than a book--as opposed to just the distinction between digital and physical. (We supply what we have, format-blind, and the supplied format will either be downloaded and supplied or scanned and supplied.)

Hello Mary,
Thank you for sharing this need in IdeaExchange. I am understanding the need as the ability to distinguish between lending requests that need to be shipped physically, downloaded and shipped digitally, or digitized and shipped digitally. This can be done through a combination of set facets of requested format and inventory type to make sets that support the organization of your workflows.
Example set parameters to use:
inventory type= physical and requested format= digital: identify requests for content that need to be digitized in your collection.
inventory type= physical and requested format= physical: identify requests for content that needs to be shipped physically from your collection
inventory type=digital and requested format- digital: identify requests for content that need to be downloaded and delivered.
