    Resource Sharing - June 2017 Enhancements

    Assigning Borrowing Requests

    Borrowing requests can now be assigned to operators in a manner that is similar to the assignment of resource sharing lending requests. The borrowing request task list displays three new tabs: Assigned to Me, Unassigned, and Assigned to Others. The Assigned to Others tab is visible only to the Fulfillment Services Manager. In addition, the Tasks Widget includes tasks for assigned and for unassigned requests.
    Request row actions include options for Reassign and Release Assign. Currently, existing requests are initially considered Unassigned, and new requests generated from Primo or the API will be created as Unassigned.
    Requests may also be automatically assigned to a user. Set the rs_disable_borrowing_auto_assign customer parameter in the customer parameter mapping table to false to automatically assign requests to the logged in operator for requests created manually or saved in Alma. Setting the parameter to true means the borrowing requests are not automatically assigned. By default, the parameter is set to true.
