Equninox has been contracted by MassLNC to perform development to improve the email and printing options available from the OPAC.
Highlights include:
* Ability to see a preview of the printout or email
* Patron control over how records in the printout or email are sorted, whether holdings information is included, and which library's holdings are displayed
* Staff management of output formats & related Action/Trigger templates
Additionally, as part of this work a new concept will be added to Action Trigger: an Action Trigger Event Definition Group, which will represent a collection of one or more Action Trigger Event Definitions that format output for printing or emailing.
Full specifications can be seen here: https://yeti.esilibrary.com/dev/public/techspecs/opac_email_and_print.pdf
MassLNC's requirements can be seen here: http://masslnc.org/node/3314 (note that we are only doing the first requirement, OPAC-01a-2017).
Here is a branch implementing this functionality. From the commit message:
This commit provides new functionality for controlling and delivering print and email bibliographic record export options.
Staff will be able to adjust existing and create new print and email formats using the Action/Trigger infrastructure and the new Event Definition Group capability.
Patrons will be able to choose from one of several formats, as configured by staff, in which to receive one or more bibliographic records. Print and email preview is made available for individual records via the existing links on the record detail page, and for lists of records via new entry points on both the Basket (anonymous list) and My Lists interfaces.
