In our shared Koha when we look at “Hold to Pull” we see every blessed hold request that is open. When we go to “Holds Queue” and select a library from that list we see only the open holds that site has to fill.<u></u><u></u></span></div>

I wrote a report (<a href="http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Holds_to_Pull_at_Branch" style="color:blue;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Holds_to_Pull_at_Branch</a>) to show the holds to pull list based on books owned by the library and it's on the wiki and it's what most people I train are using because the way I understand things is this:<br>
<br>- Holds Queue is all holds (regardless of whether they're checked out or on the shelf) that need to be picked up at the branch<br>- Holds to Pull should be a list of all items on the shelf at your library that have holds on them that you need to pull to trigger the hold<br>
<br>In addition to helping Barbara, your answer will help me fix the manual to make it clearer for all. <span> </span><br><br>Nicole<u></u><u></u></p><div><div style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0.0001pt;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">
