Hold Slip (POS)
Use this template to configure a point of sale (POS) printing notification to be printed immediately upon checking in an item that fulfills a hold request for a patron. The POS Hold Slip cannot be enabled until the template is complete.
The Hold Slip is not available via email, only using Network Print and Point of sale (POS). The Hold Slip template configured under Next-Generation Notifications > Templates > Point of sale (POS) printing is for POS only. For the Network Print template, see Hold Slip.
No notification scheduling is used for this template, and only a single template can be configured for this notification type per institution (one each for Network Printing and POS).
Caution: When a library enables a Next-Generation Notification, its corresponding legacy notification(s) will be disabled (if they had previously been enabled). For Group Aware libraries, OCLC recommends coordinating a single rollout window for Next-Generation Notifications across the consortium to avoid patrons experiencing mixed notification experiences when borrowing from multiple libraries.
