Bib workform All Items list - Add navigation from open item workforms to next/prior item
Can development add a navigation option when someone has an item workform open on the All Items tab of the bibliographic workform to allow moving between item workforms without needing to close and manually open the next item?
One of the sticking points for technical services staff to adopt Leap is not being able to quickly navigate between item workforms to update barcodes while cataloging. In the desktop client, staff are able to use the View navigation options. Our current guidance is to use Bulk Change if the same revision needs to be made to multiple items or to use the Filter Items box to limit the displayed list of items to the ones they need to edit but that does not always meet our users' needs.
This development could also help with serials check in if multiple issues are being received at the same time.

My immediate read on this was a "Next" button, which seems like a nice idea, but I realized there probably needs to be a way to indicate/determine which item would be "Next" on the record given your current selection. So instead, I think maybe a dynamic dropdown selection that includes the a concatenated string of a few key identifiers like Placement Branch, Call Number, and Barcode would be better suited for the task? This could, potentially, get pretty unwieldy though for Bibs with many items, so I'm not sure which would really be the "right" answer... Anyway, those are just a couple thoughts on what the navigation might look like.
