    Question

    In which cases patrons are allowed to initiate the deletion of hold requests via OPAC / RESTful API?

    Answer

    Patrons are allowed to delete all hold requests except records that have Z37-STATUS = "A" and Z37-PRINT-STATUS = "P".

    Additional Information

    In OPAC deletion of records on hold shelf (Z37-STATUS = "S") is only allowed when rep_change 2140 (Aleph 20) is installed and implemented.

    See implementation notes of rep_change 2140

    Implementation Notes:
    To activate the new functionality you have to activate the placeholders for the DELETE button in the following files:

    - ./alephe/www_f_lng/bor-hold-exp
    After line
    $0700
    add the following line:
    $2300

    - ./alephe/www_f_lng/bor-title-body
    Change the line
    <td class=td1 valign=top>$2000</td>
    to
    <td class=td1 valign=top>$2000$2100</td>

    - ./alephe/www_f_lng/bor-title-exp
    Change the line
    <td class=td1>&nbsp;$2000</td>
    to
