Item Status Alternate View Screen Needs Call Number Prefix and Call Number Suffix Fields

[Erica Rohlfs]

Evergreen Version 2.5.3b

Thanks to Bill Thomas for pointing this out!

When libraries utilize predefined Call Number Prefixes and Call Number Suffixes (call number prefixes and suffixes that have been set up in Server Admin then applied in volume editor), staff cannot view this information on the Item Status Screen – Alternate View. The Item Call # field excludes these entries from the view. Staff members would need to manually enter the call number prefixes and suffixes within the Call Number field of the volume editor for them to show up in the Item Call # field of the Item Status screen.

[Bill Thomas (thomasb-b)]

This would be a great thing to have fixed for anyone that uses either prefix's or suffix's and we use both.

[Rose Peda (rpeda)]

This would be helpful information to have for our library to have giving us more information / tools in locating materials

Might be a matter of aesthetics, but should we cram the prefix and suffix into the same Item Call # field there or have dedicated display fields for them? There is vertical room for more display fields.

[Erica Rohlfs (erohlfs)]

If there is room, then I am personally in favor of giving them distinct fields. That way, staff members have a visual distinction of the predefined versus manually entered prefixes and suffixes. But, I also see how having the info brought together may be more helpful to some -as you mention- aesthetically.

[Bill Thomas (thomasb-b)]

vertical would be our preference, there is plenty of room in that column
they could even be side by side if so desired all tho preference would be
prefix, call number, suffix, even if going down the page

My only concern with side-by-side is that there is already a screen resolution issue for that screen. Bug #1270171

[Bill Thomas (thomasb-b)]

side by side would not be preferred but usable, more like:
CNPrefix:_________
Call Number:_____________
CNSuffix:________
would be ok a well

Adding a fixedinwebby tag. The fields appear in Webby's Item Status detail view as Bill Thomas illustrated above:

CNPrefix:_________
Call Number:_____________
CNSuffix:________

Setting this bug to Won't Fix since it is fixed in the web client and the xul client is now deprecated.
