My reservations

This portlet displays all reservations for the user, plus important information such as the reservation valid date.

If family ticket data is passed on from the backend, family members with reservations are shown in a dropdown.

The family members are presented in the following order:

  1. current user

  2. connected cards in the order received from the LMS through ALMA

The portlet is by default placed on the page /protected/reservations and in the default installation it can be reached from the tab My pages.

User interface

The user accesses the portlet via the My pages menu. The portlet displays all reservations for the user. By clicking a title in the list, the record detail opens. Depending on configuration, the list may also display valid dates from and to, the selected pickup branch and the user’s place in the reservation queue. If the reservation has a special status, then it is displayed.

The list may be sorted in many different ways.

If allowed by the LMS the user may change the reservation dates and pickup branch, or delete the reservation. The user may also add the title to their media list.

Note:
If you use reservation ordering, the configuration setting Reservation Sub Library must have a value for Arena to be able to save the reservation ordering.
