Hold Shelf Actions Menu Includes Irrelevant Actions

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.9

On the Holds Shelf (Circulation -> Holds Shelf) the Actions menu includes a number of actions that don't apply to Ready for Pickup holds. (or don't do anything as far as I can tell)

Activate - a hold has to already be active in order to end up on the holds shelf
Suspend - attempting to suspend a Ready for Pickup from the holds shelf has no affect
Set Top of Queue - the patron has to be the top of the queue in order for their hold to have been captured and on the hold shelf
- Un-Set Top of Queue - has no affect on a Ready for Pickup

Assuming these actions truly don't apply to Ready for Pickup on the hold shelf they should be removed from the Actions list on the Holds Shelf.

I agree that Action menu items should be more context-specific, and not include actions that are irrelevant to the list purpose.

In addition to the actions Jennifer sites, I also suggest reconsidering:

Set desired item quality - if the item is ready for pickup, this doesn't do anything
Transfer to marked title - this does not work for holdings transfer, and also the available holds list seems like the wrong place to try moving holdings around
