Update Print Template Assignment Methodology
After spending over an hour adding new print templates to every login for a new library, I am once again reminded of the inefficiency of the current methodology for assigning print templates to logins.
Idea: Print Templates can be assigned like Permissions for Sierra. They would have their own sidebar, and logins could be added to each print template. That way, it only takes a couple of clicks to add print templates in mass to several logins, rather than clicking into the login, then settings, then print templates, then scrolling to find each print template and set the prompt. This is especially tedious in a consortium, where there are tens of print templates per category.
Value: make administration of print templates easier and quicker for system administrators.

Good point, Jeremy. I should have been more clear that my proposal relates the admin app method of adding print templates to logins. I imagine the SDA way staying the same, that way more savvy library staff can still import, export, and assign print templates to their login.

I like this idea for many of the templates but not universally. Spine labels in particular need to be something that end users can work with on the client side of things and shouldn't be walled off to admins, though for most other use cases I can see this proposal working decently well.
