Consolidation

• Circulation:
  • The circulation module interface supports routing (i.e. independent URLs per functional page, for reference and navigation purposes).
  • The table in the pending view is sortable.
  • Messages are displayed to librarians when requested items are checked in.
  • Messages are displayed to librarians when requests are validated (new status at desk, or in transit).
  • When a request is validated, the related patron is notified by email.
• Fixtures:
  • There is only one organisation with three members (libraries). The example looks like a true small network of libraries.
  • Some patrons have been added, with predefined circulation transactions. These transactions can be set in the reroils-data/data/circulation-transactions.json file. This is especially useful for testing purposes.
• Data:
  • Librarians can access the item full view, which displays the related circulation transactions (loan and requests).
  • Visitors and logged in patrons aren't authorized to access members (libraries), locations and patron full views.
• User experience:
  • The web interface is enriched with links that enable librarians to access more quickly the needed information or functions.
  • The availability information has been simplified with only two colors: green if available, red if not. When an item isn't available, some additional information is displayed when relevant (ie. due date).
• Issues fixed: #11, #26, #27, #30
