Comment 9 for bug 1783793

Dawn,

Are you saying that when you go activate an already suspended hold, you want the activate option to not actually activate it, but to set the hold activation date instead? So if a hold was active, and you chose the activate feature, you would potentially be suspending the hold?

That seems a little convoluted to me when I first think about it. But maybe it would be easier if there was just a single choice "Suspend or Activate hold". The interface could have two UI elements, an activate on date that defaults to today's date, and a checkbox that says suspend indefinitely.

1. To activate the hold you just save the interface with the current date selected as the activation date. Maybe the save/apply button could say "Activate" in this case.

2. To suspend the hold with an activation date, you choose an activation date in the future. The save/apply button could say "Suspend"

3. To suspend a hold with no activation date, check the "Suspend Indefinitely" box which would disable the activation date. The save/apply button could say Suspend.

I think you should open a new bug about the OPAC changes, this bug is just about the web staff client.
