2. Setup
2.1 Generic options
With these options you can determine whether stack request placing is allowed from the WebOpac and whether borrowers must login for each stack request:
If you set the second option to Yes, it means the borrower will be logged out automatically after each stack request he/she places.

The following texts can be amended for various screens/situations related to stack requests.

2.5 Fields etc.
This section allows you to specify which fields will be visible to the borrower when placing different types of stack requests:
You can also customize the bibliographic fields available and their order on the form for placing non-catalogued stack requests as well as define the mandatory bibliographic fields that the user has to fill:
When the user enters a shelfmark the system will check to see if there is a match in the catalogue. (Only the databases defined in the parameter “Databases to be checked for a shelfmark match for a non-catalogued stack request” will be checked).
If there is no match then the normal procedure for placing a non-catalogued stack request is followed.
If there are multiple titles that match the entered shelfmark the following message is displayed:
“There are several titles with this shelfmark, please search the catalogue for the specific title.”
If there is only one match the message: “There is a title in the catalogue with this shelfmark.” will be displayed and the user will be automatically taken to the normal procedure for placing a stack request for that specific title.
2.6 Service point selection
Service points for stack requests are defined in AFO 618 – Service points. With this option you can determine which service point(s) are available for placing of a request for non-catalogued items.
