  1. Add "Description" to the "Change Physical Items" job so that this field can be edited in batch across sets of item records

    Hi all, we're working on analyzing the request for batch item description updates and would love your input to make sure our solution fits your needs.

    I would like to propose the following:

    The "Rebuild Physical item description" job currently allows auto-generating a description for a set of items (based on enum/chron data) - this option will be kept as is, but the job would allow selection to either auto-generate the description (existing) or enter a description value as free text (meaning all items in the set would get the same description). The free text option would also support updating the field with an empty value as exists in other jobs.


    1. What are some examples of descriptions that would be relevant across an entire set of items?

    2. As discussed in previous comments, changing the description of an item (manually or via job) causes the pending requests for that…

    1. We register (among other things) copy id in the description field in order to make requests for a specific copy, possible (older material means unique copies).
    We also use copy id in the description field for items on related records in order to keep them separate from items not related (the system did some strange things with requests here). It is possible to process all items with copy id 1 together, all with copy id 2 together and so on.

    2. We always have an Analytics list to start from. In that list we have Process type as a column in order to see what items are requested. We also have a separate report for requests in more detail. But the fact that Analytics gets updated only once a day is a problem. We have to check and run things in the morning in order to be sure that we do not delete a request by mistake. This is one of the major disadvantages with Alma: not having direct access to the database (SQL!).
    It is also possible to use Resource Request Monitoring, but there is no way of choosing location there so it is easy to miss requests.

    At Uppsala University Library we would be very interested in reports on how many letters of various types have been sent during a specified time. We would also like to see which user groups have received them.

    Not exactly the same thing as above but very close.

    Uppsala university also strongly supports this request. When relations for 830 $x generates related items in Primo, it gets very difficult for users to request the right material. There is no way to stop another item from the same series to be requested instead of the item bound with the item the user wants.

    I just voted for this. At Uppsala university we would very much like to have statistics for this and it is just not possible. If we use for example loan date and filter out a date period for that: then we will not count the automatic renewals for the loans where the automatic renewals are made at a later date. We need to be able to count the automatic renewals by dates directly connected to automatic renewals.
