  1. Add Create Request option to the Resource Sharing Requests task list menu

    When manually creating a request (borrowing or lending) for a patron, you currently have to get into a list/set of requests before you can access the "Create Request" button. This is not intuitive because the request doesn't exist yet and it wastes time while you wait for a page to load that you won't actually be working with.

    Offering the "Create Request" option from the Resource Sharing Requests task list menu puts this ability at an earlier spot to be able to start this request and doesn't waste clicks getting to an area that is not necessary. If one Create…

  2. 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.

  3. Add requester type to requester metadata in Rapido

    We should be able to see the requester user group (faculty, undergrad, etc.) in the information about the requester in Rapido. Sometimes decisions about how to handle a request (i.e. purchase or cancel, keep looking after the end of the semester or cancel) depends on the type of requester. We shouldn’t have to go into a different part of Alma to get this information.
