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

- ./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

<td class=td1>&nbsp;$2000</td>
