Was: Lists; needed features, including location and staff level sharing, now Cart in staff interface
We've disabled the Cart function, so I don't know if that is any worse or better. If it will show location, I will re-enable it.
I just enabled Cart in the staff interface. It's a small improvement, in that it gives the call number (but not the number of items or their availability) and location information. However, despite being in the staff interface, it uses the location information as displayed in the OPAC. For security reasons (rare, old book) we do not display specific location information in the OPAC, so the locked cupboards, safe, offices, annexes, etc. all display as 'Storage', and the specifics are only available in the staff interface. It seems to me that the Cart in the staff interface should display the locations that ordinarily display in the staff interface.

Elaine,
We've disabled the Cart function, so I don't know if that is any worse or
better. If it will show location, I will re-enable it.

The cart in the staff interface displays all the location information I am aware of. Where are you putting this secret location information?

Below is a screenshot of the authorized values for locations: Description is what normally displays in the staff interface. Description (OPAC) is what displays in the OPAC. However, in the staff interface cart - the location description is pulled from Description (OPAC). On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 8:31 PM, Jared Camins-Esakov < jcamins@cpbibliography.com> wrote:

I see. That's a very clever way to hide information from the OPAC. This is definitely a bug. Could you report it on Bugzilla?
