Actions Menu Options for Marking Items Should Use Consistent Wording Across Interfaces

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.9

Items can be marked as particular statuses from Item Status, Check In, and the Items Checked Out tab within the patron account. Despite overlap in the available actions, the actions available in the Actions menu use different wording in each interface. The same wording should be used in each place since the same action is being performed.

Below is the wording used for the mark function on the different interfaces.

Item Status

Mark
  Item as Damaged
  Item as Discard/Weed
  Item as Missing

Check In

Mark Items Damaged
Mark Items Discard/Weed
Mark Missing Pieces

Items Checked Out (in Patron Account)

Mark Damaged
Mark Missing
Mark Lost (By Patron)
Mark Claims Returned
Mark Claims Never Checked Out

Found a fourth actions menu with different wording.

Open Hold Requests (in Patron Account)

Mark Item Damaged
Mark Item Discard/Weed
Mark Item Missing

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

Noting that this also affects translations - the fewer variations of the same phrase we have, the easier it is to manage the translations.

The wording is much more consistent across the interfaces but I think we should either have "Item" in all of these menu option or none of them. (My preference would be to include "Item" in the action for all of them as it is an item that is being marked.)
