[Koha] Holds

[Cab Vinton]

A few questions about handling holds in v.3.01.00.032.

It appears that there's no way to get a list of holds to be pulled
emailed automatically, i.e., staff need to run the "Holds to pull"
report manually on a regular basis. Is this correct?

What should happen next? The report says "The following holds have not
been filled. Please retrieve them and check them in." What does "check
in" mean here? We shouldn't check the material out to the patron as
s/he won't have it in hand yet.

The OPAC updates the item's status to "On hold", so that's taken care
of, but patrons have no indication of how many patrons are ahead of
them in the queue. Is this a new feature that others would like to see
as well?

Any other changes in holds management planned for v3.2?

Thank you,
