Other Questions

1. When a damaged item is deleted- if it is on hold or in transit- does the system catch that? Or, should staff always check before deleting the item?
2. In the new Web Client… when marking an email invalid it no longer shows up on the patron screen. You have to look for it under "messages". So there is no prompt for the staff to ask patron for new email.
3. Can the system generate email groups or is that something that has to be done through Constant Contact or Mail Chimp?
