Soprano release to preview Wednesday 28th February 2024

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

  • Copies in transit excluded from branches count in Recent activity and search result cards
  • Defaults on the create borrower screen

Copies in transit excluded from branches count in Recent activity and search result cards

In the bibliographic record ‘cards’ in Resources, if there are no copies of the item at the current site, a count of the number of other branches where copies are available is displayed. This count no longer includes items that are in transit. In addition if the login site copy is in transit, the system shows the count of other branches rather than the shelfmark of the intransit copy.

Defaults on the create borrower screen

Following the creation of a new borrower record, if the user doesn’t opt to reuse the borrower details and closes the ‘Borrower created’ message to return to the create borrower screen, the Date of Birth and Borrower Type fields now display the original, default values.

To preview this release

You can preview this release by inserting ‘-demo’ into your tenancy URL after the word ‘soprano’: soprano-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/{your tenancy name}. Please remember that it accesses your live data.

Release to the live service
