Following Disney's lead of recycling years old ideas for theme park attractions, I'd like to see an idea I'd had while working with a former employer brought to fruition in Sierra. We had been using Millennium at the time & the Circ Product Manager had gotten to a point in development that there was a near-working model on III's test environment (I've got screenshots & even a Captivate video somewhere), but I left that employer & the III product manager left III & the idea was abandoned. Sure, it's not as exciting as Disney's announced "Villains Land" or a boat ride themed to Pixar's Coco, but I think Sierra users would still find it very useful.

The workflow for Unfilled Pages Mode (now "Function" in Sierra's terminology) was this:

1) Staff would complete their title, item, or INN-Reach paging list, trapping everything they pulled from the shelf for a local or external hold.

2) They would then access the Unfilled Pages function.

3) From this new function, they'd select the instance of the paging list from a drop-down menu. The drop-down would include the title, item, & INN-Reach lists, & for libraries that ran it multiple times a day, each instance of that list.

4) Their selection would take them to a list of items on that instance of the list that were not pulled & trapped for holds.

5) From here, they would be able to convert all unfound items to Missing in batch. The intended customer retains their place in the hold queue & the torch is passed to the next library location where the items are understood to be available.
