    Would this action be different from renew ? Checking out an already on loan item can be used to trigger a renew.

    Assigning a 'Circulation communication' address to the institution or to a library enables a 'From' address on library emails. The 'From'address will be visible to patrons and patrons will be able to reply to it.

    This also enables users to indicate separate 'From' email addresses for the different libraries of the institution. If the circulation communication email is not indicated for the library, the circulation communication email indicated for the institution is taken.

    See https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/050Administration/050Configuring_General_Alma_Functions/020Managing_Institutions_and_Libraries#Configuring_Institution.2FLibrary_Contact_Information.

    Does that match the required feature ?

    You can create restrictions by allocating a location to these items. The circulation desk that is assigned to the self check profile may be configured to not allow check-in\out action for items of that location.

    Perhaps it would be worthwhile to hide the field from the request form.

    Can you explain why you would want to still process a received item if the patron has cancelled the request and is not interested anymore in the item ?

    The additional ID can be used for sorting the Active Hold Shelf list, but is not a searchable ID. Would just adding it to the borrowing request screen be helpful, without making it searchable ?

    Can you elaborate of the workflows that would require making the ID visible in the RS requests list and searchable ?

    Do you mean that there should not be an option to place a request even if there is an avialavle copy at another campus but there is a currently on loan copy belonging to the patron's campus?

    Do these records have a specific record type ? Could their resource sharing link be suppressed with the March 2022 release of the 'Hide the Resource Sharing Link for Specific Resource Types' feature - https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/2022/Alma_2022_Release_Notes?mon=202203BASE ?

    I am not sure I understand, what should be the criteria for hiding the resource sharing link, and what's the business logic that it is intended to implement. Can you elaborate ?

    Thanks,

    What is this code in Alma terminology ? Is that the customer ID ?

    Note that it is possibel to use the 'Sending Borrowing Request Rules' to prevent auto sending of requests to specifc partners. The request will remain in a 'ready to be sent' status until manually sent.

    Can you elaborate on why that link would be required ? The patron contact card that shows up next to the patron name is intended to give you any infromation you need without having to navigatie to the user record. Would adding information to that card help ?

    Can you elaborate on the exact functional context ? The 'Resource Sharing Return Slip' is printable when returning a borrowed item to the lender. You may include a printable barcode image on this letter. Printing the letter will take place when:
    * Scanning in an item that triggers a return to the lender (including Managing Patron Services and Return Items menu option)
    * Using the Return option in the borrowing task list

    Can you explain the workflow action that needs to be done on 'renew accepted' requests ? For what purpose do you need the status to reflect the fact that a renew has taken place ?

    If you allow updating information form Primo then the submitted data should not be wiped out by the next data load. The data from Primo will be created as an internal segment, attached to the external user account. This internal segment will not get wiped by the next load.

    Hi,

    I am not sure about 'letting the students update contact information that will be wiped out next time data is loaded in to Alma'. Updates done by patrons from Primo should be recorded as internal segments (e.g. email) and not get overrun by a subsequent SIS import. Is that not your experience ?

    Note that when a request is placed in Alma (and then pushed to Rapid), if the PMID or DOI is included, additional metadata automatically augments the request. The following fields are automatically populated:

    -Article Title
    -Journal Title
    -Author
    -Volume
    -Issue
    -ISSN
    -Pages
    -Start Page
    -End Page
    -Publication Date

    This depends on the Augmentation Integration Profile set up.

    Do you mean the item level call number ? Are not most request title level ? In that case, they are not linked to a specific item.

    Hi,

    What workflows do you have with rejected requests ?
