More Request Manager modifications Tue 6/9 10pm

The NHAIS ILL System will be offline briefly tonight (Tuesday, June 9) starting at 10 o'clock. This will allow installation of software updates that include further enhancements to the Request Manager screen based on feedback following changes made two months ago.

With this update, you'll see a larger font size on the Request Manager page and the red dots will go away, with the same "unreviewed notes" icon you see elsewhere in the program replacing the dots.

Users will now see a search box to the left of the display tabs. This will allow you to narrow the statuses displayed to those that include, for example, "patron" or "pending" in the status name.

Clicking on the Borrower heading near the top of the Request Manager screen will take you to the Borrower Requests list and clicking on the Lender heading will take you to the Lender Requests page. This saves a step if you're looking for a request but don't find it in the expected status. When that happened in the past, you needed to go to Staff Dashboard > ILL Admin > Borrower [or Lender] Requests to look for a title and see its status. You can still do that but now you have the option of going straight to Borrower Requests or Lender Requests from the Request Manager.

There are other changes you'll see only if you use the All tab when viewing the Request Manager page (but remember that the Active tab shows you what you really need to see). Statuses with a count of zero will no longer display as grayed out. Also, in the last two months statuses that are not used in the NHAIS ILL System (like ILL Review and Passed to Local System) have been included in the All display. These inactive statuses will no longer be seen.
