Customize default item view based on function
It is currently an option to be able to set the default view of an item record across Sierra. However, it would be nice to be able to have a different default view set for the different functions in Sierra.
For example:
When in the Circulation function - I'd prefer the default view to be Hold.
When in the Cataloging function - I'd prefer the default view to be Item.
When in the Acquisitions function - I'd prefer the default view to be Order.
I understand that I could just have multiple windows open and set the default view differently in each window, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary work.
The product manager will review this idea for possible inclusion in a future release.

The setting you describe is actually the default system behavior when you first create a Sierra login, but that breaks if you change your view. That change then gets applied to all the functional areas and there's no way to restore the default behavior (other than creating a new login).

I always have to remember to change to item level view when I'm in cataloging (my default is Hold).
