Critical for Patron facing staff to assist Patrons in placing holds on appropriate staff. Eliminates the need for Patron facing staff to leave notes for catalogers to place items on hold when item is in hand. Holds get placed in correct order. Can even become relevant if/when the amount of holds on a volume trigger the need for multiple copies being purchased.

It's already a bit confusing placing holds on serials or multivolume sets. Adding this extra layer for staff takes time, and patrons don't understand this limitation. Patrons just want the material.

Will save the time it takes to transfer holds.

This fix would serve patrons and save staff time. Having to create a fake barcode and then replace that information is unnecessarily tedious for acquisitions staff; having to explain to patrons why they can put a hold on some on-order items but not ALL on-order items is frustrating for both staff and patrons. Please make this modification.

Adding a fake barcode so that patrons can place holds is time-consuming and frustrating. It is also not well documented, so libraries new to Polaris have trouble understanding why their patrons cannot place holds on certain items. Why do items with volume numbers need barcodes when they aren't required for placing holds on items without volume numbers?

We definitely need this fixed so patrons can place holds on the right volume when it's on-order. The call number volume should be all that's needed to do this.

Please save us the work of manually transferring holds that should have been done correctly in the first place
