Technical Services Staff and Circulation Staff often ask for the ability to toggle between tabs in Check Out. We need to reduce repetitive keyboard strokes at checkout and this workflow requires staff to continually reach for the mouse during a circulation transaction.

For example: There is no way to move from the patron check out screen to the patron holds screen without using the mouse to select the corresponding tab.

The Check Out options (check out, checked, out items, holds, fines, check in, linked patrons, bookings etc) could be hardcoded to the drop down menu options so that Administrators could set up macros to move from one tab to another.

Ideally, if these tabs cannot be hardcoded into the drop down menu options, staff would prefer to use the tab key to move down the check out tabs (and the shift + tab) to move back up the check out tabs.

This solution would improve workflows in Sierra Web and the SDA.
