[opal_migration_leads] repair location/process question

[Marshall, Lauren]

Thanks Abby and Laurence -
I have tried the "work order" thing a little - and I kind of like how items
with work orders show up in your task list. then you can just click "done"
when it's done and it clears it out of the list and "work order" status. It
does show up in the catalog as being in that status. I can see it being
useful for large places that need to have things flow through multiple
steps and people (in terms of processing or repairs). I think we do need to
configure this for both "missing" status and "lost" status to work
correctly? I'm still kind of confused about how those two aspects work.

However I think since we'll already be using the new book shelf as a
temporary location, and students will be able to scan items in and out of
those , that might be more straightforward. So we will need to set up a
"repair location" as well as "new book shelf" and various display locations.

Thanks for the feedback! Lauren
