[Wactclc-alma] can't receive a title

[Cara Beth Stevenson]

I wonder if it has to do with something I've noticed in Alma - a slight processing delay.

Sometimes I need to delete a duplicate e-book title from a list of search results. If I am quick to return to the list screen, the duplicate record may still appear in my list. If I wait a few seconds (take a deep breath) before clicking the return button, it's usually gone.

Circulation staff have also said that when they search a patron by name, it takes a few seconds for the dropdown list to populate so you can quickly select the correct patron name.

Weird, huh?

That does seem very similar to Louise's issue.  In her case, the book has been received--but the screen does not respond/behave correctly.

I've had a similar issue with receiving periodicals.  After I've received it and go to the upper corner to say "receive and save" it will save, but the screen won't go back to the main list of periodicals where I do my searching.  In order to get there I have to hit "save."  I'm wondering if this is something that is happening because of the update that occurred.

I'm trying to receive a book and for some reason I can't click in the receive checkbox next to the title. I tried clicking Receive in the dropdown menu to the right of the item and it still won't receive, but it doesn't give me an error message telling me what's wrong. Has anyone had this issue?
