August Release
Scheduled Purchasing (Beta)
August 2020 contains a limited-functionality (Beta) Scheduled Purchasing development.
When completed, Scheduled Purchasing will allow you to create a feed of titles to be either purchased or added to your DDA pool at a frequency you choose. This will allow Selectors to spend less time on manual selection, and will provide a mechanism to have a predictable spend on an ongoing basis.

Summary Panel Enhancements
The summary panels on the right-hand of the pages were expanded, and information from left-hand panels was incorporated into them. This provides for a better user experience, enabling users to view necessary information and utilize facets without having to collapse panels.
The changes involve:
- Left-hand panel information and actions were incorporated into the right-hand panels.
- Multiple panels can be presented simultaneously (for example, Purchase Request and Holdings).
- The
button on the bottom of both the left- and right-hand panels now allows to collapse and expand the panels. - Users can pin panels to the main panel.
- Expand the panels using the
arrows to the right to view additional information.
