Web client: from copy bucket can't open multiple items in show status

[Elaine Hardy]

In the web client, when in a copy bucket, you cannot select multiple items for display in show status. Only one can be opened by clicking on the barcode. In the XUL client, you could send the entire bucket to item status. This is very helpful since there is some functionality in item status not in copy buckets.

This appears to be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1691861

Elaine,

I'm going to remove the duplicate status from this bug because I believe these are two distinct issue.

This bug identifies a problem with selecting multiple copies from a bucket to open in item status.

The other bug identifies a problem with selecting multiple copies from item status to open in the volume/copy editor.

I have loaded the code from bug 1691861 on a test server, and it does not resolve the issue you reported in this bug.

[Elaine Hardy (ehardy)]

Thanks -- I read so many bugs this morning, I was getting them confused.

There are some important actions missing from the Item Bucket menu that are available in Item Status, including Checkin Items, Renew Items and Update Inventory. These are all options staff use for inventory and various special projects. Sometimes you can flip a workflow and the items can be scanned or uploaded into Item Status, actions taken, and then moved to a bucket, but sometimes the actions are needed for items already in a bucket. We would like to either have Show Status restored to the Item Bucket action menu as it is in the XUL client, or have all the same options in both menus.

I pushed a branch with this feature.

I, along with the New Developers Working Group, tested this code on the feedback fest server.

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, Tiffany Little, and my email <email address hidden>.

I have a small nit to pick with this change. The new option is "Show Selected Items" which doesn't tell me much from looking at the code or even in the interface.

The XUL client had "Show Status" as the label for this feature. I think that label is slightly more clear in that it at least hints that we're going to open these items in the item status interface.

I therefore recommend changing the label to "Show Status" or "Show Status of Selected Items."

Alternate suggestion: "Open in Item Status"

[Mike Risher (mrisher)]

I changed the text to read "Show Status of Selected Items". Many other options use the phrase "Selected Items", so it's consistent with the rest of the menu.

The branch is the same:

[Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)]

Thanks, Mike! I have removed the needsdiscussion tag and put the signedoff tag back.

I'm going to wait to push this, or let someone else push it, to see if there's any more discussion about the command label. I think we can do that in a collab branch or just change it when it's committed to master if there seems to be a consensus around a different label.

[Mike Risher (mrisher)]

Sorry, Terran I didn't see your message til now. If we want to change the text to something else let me know. Happy to follow up with this quick change!

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

I'm okay with "Show Status of Selected Items" if everyone else is, but I think "Open in Item Status" makes it clearer that it's going to be opening a new tab / interface (as opposed to, say, showing the copy status on the same page).

[Elaine Hardy (ehardy)]

I agree that "Open in Item Status" is clearer

[Mike Risher (mrisher)]

The text has been modified to say "Open in Item Status". This is the branch with the work:

[Jane Sandberg (sandbergja)]

Works well for me. Thanks, Mike, Tiffany, New Devs Group, and all others who worked on this.

I added this to master, rel_3_5, and rel_3_4. I didn't put it in rel_3_3; I think we are done with bug fix releases in the 3.3 series. If I'm incorrect about that, feel free to backport it.
