[[scratchpad:staff_client_todo|known bugs and needed features]]

====== General ======
^ Feature ^ Cosmetic ^ Wishlist ^
| **error handling:** Handle errors from embedded interfaces like the opac and admin interfaces (thrown xpc-wrapped js objects) | **language:** check all wording/spelling | **lists:** For truly huge result sets that are not capped, the paging might be part of the api.  In that case it may be better to wrap a simple paging interface around the list interface, and just have it clear and append a page's worth of data on each page change.  I don't think we need anything like that currently |
| **error handling:** Give embedded interfaces some hooks into normal staff client error handling | **feedback:** Acknowledgement popups for every silent action | **convenience:** A higher level Undo for things like undeleting tabs.  Maybe a tab protection flag, too.  Or let the staff client query the interface before closing to see if a warning dialog ('unsaved data', etc.) needs to be displayed |
| **convenience:** use the same tab interface (shortcut keys, X button, etc.) as Firefox/Mozilla.  This would also remove the arbitrary "No More Than 9 Tabs" restriction | **convenience:** Focus the cursor correctly on interface transitions | **admin:** Interface for org settings for ip ranges |
| **convenience:** default tab portal - [[user-comments:staff_client_wishlist#default_tab_portal|needs further discussion]] | **feedback:** put sounds/audibles in more/less places. Let me know if there is a place where we need audibles, or if there is an audible in a place where we don't need it. | **admin:** A Change Password interface for staff client.  Batch? |
| **lists:** print template selection | **feedback:** sounds for override and permission dialogs | **error handling:** Helpdesk integration |
| **lists:** Select All action | **lists:** Need to make sure all list data is being fleshed/retrieved with a "retrieve_row" function, and not prior to the list append (this is a performance tweak) | |
| **convenience:** instant messaging [[user-comments:staff_client_wishlist#intra-staff_client_im|needs discussion]] | **lists:** indication of new/modified/removed rows | **stat cats:** make free-text entry a toggable option for copy and patron stat cats |
| **language:** better localization/internationalization (this will also hopefully clear up mis-usages like Lost vs. Missing, Item vs. Copy) | **clarity:** remove the "T" from all datetime stamps | **convenience:** Cancel/Done for all sub-interfaces |
| **developer:** Move the menu interface back to remote xul, or wait until xulrunner can load remote overlays programmatically.  The problem here is that we can't make remote xul act 100% like local xul, regardless of permissions, and there are still some interfaces that rely on local xul behavior.  Need to find these and document. | **lists:** Sort addresses on patron record [[user-comments:staff_client_wishlist#patron_address_sorting|needs discussion]] [[http://www.open-ils.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154|bug 154]] | |

| **convenience:** show barring library (though Bill is prompting for an alert message on barring) | | **offline:** The ability to undo or remove an item from the pending list (in checkin, checkout, etc.) before they get saved to the log file |
| **convenience:** offer a Renew option when attempting to checkout an item to a patron when that item is already checked out to that patron.  The term used here was "in-hand renewal"| | **offline:** The same sort of field validation that the online user editor uses for driver's license, etc. |
| **convenience/holds:** Add notes on hold requests [[http://www.open-ils.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130|bug 130]] | | **stat cats:** option to make patron stat cats required/displayable or not (future) |
| | | **convenience:** smarter selection of hold recipients (click on the barcode in patron summary and paste into recipient textbox is pretty easy) |
| | | **data:** patron de-dup algorithm (permutations/combinatins of name, de-dup on barcode) |
| | | **convenience:** distinguish bookdrop checkins from normal checkins somehow? |
| | | **convenience:** some indication of patron/circ status on checkin (this book was overdue, this patron was blocked, etc.) |

| **holdings maintenance:** drill down farther into the workstation library by default | | **convenience:** share read-only buckets (we just need an interface for this) |
| **buckets:** an Empty Bucket button | | **convenience:** auto-update of marc based on authority |
