We’re pleased to announce that the next release of Soprano is available for preview.

This release includes:

• Circulation
  • Circulation fix
• Serials
  • Changes to the messages displayed under the patterns tab

Circulation

Circulation fix

Copies will now correctly show if they are on loan in the holdings tab. Previously if a copy was on loan, but there were collection rules that would suppress the copy in Prism, it would look like the item was available at full record level on the Holdings tab when it was on loan. This fix requires LDS 2.9.5

Serials

Changes to the messages displayed under the patterns tab

When a pattern is attached the message now reads: ““Prediction pattern set to pattern_name”

If there are no patterns set or the pattern is not set for the login location then the systems displays the message: “There are no patterns set for this login location, for this serial. To see the patterns (or attach a pattern) please login at a delivery site”
