Documentazione guida per le notifiche di nuova generazione
We have started to roll out groups of new notifications and this will continue for the next several months. To help you and your staff get to know the advantages of these communication tools and how to use them, we have put together several resources in the NGN section (sign-in required) of the WMS Circulation Community Center site. We will continue to update these resources as new notifications are released. These resources serve as a supplement to the updated information on Next-Generation Notifications in WorldShare Circulation help documentation.

Ritiro: API WMS Collection Management (1 aprile 2026) The WMS Collection Management API will be sunset 1 April 2026. Please review the Collection Management API transition resources to learn how to migrate to the Metadata API, which is much more modern, flexible, and robust. We acknowledge that a common use case for the WMS Collection Management API has been a spine label printing solution. This feature is available via the Label Print Lists functionality within Record Manager, WMS Circulation or WMS Acquisitions. If you have questions or concerns about how this change will impact you, please contact support@oclc.org. |

Nuove funzionalità e miglioramenti
Automatically Withdraw Temporary Items for Interlibrary Loan
This new feature streamlines Circulation data by automatically withdrawing temporary items created for interlibrary loan (ILL) services when specific actions are performed.
Key Features
-
Automatic Withdrawal on Check-In
- Once toggled in Service Config, temporary items linked to ILL requests are automatically withdrawn when checked in.
-
Automatic Withdrawal on Hold Deletion
- Once toggled in Service Config, temporary items are withdrawn when their associated hold is deleted, ensuring clean-up of temporary records.
Configurazione
- Institutions can enable this feature via Service Config > WMS Circulation > Integrations > ILL Settings
- The feature is off by default and must be toggled on.
- Note: If you are using more than on ILL provider, you must enable this feature for each provider individually.
Availability
- This functionality is available for all ILL services integrated with WMS, including Tipasa, WorldShare ILL, SHARES, Relais D2D, RapidILL, and ZFL.
Digby 3.5 Release: Combined Read Shelf + Inventory Mode
Digby 3.5 introduces a new feature set that allows you to perform shelf reading and inventorying simultaneously, saving libraries valuable time. We also improved the reliability of the camera barcode scanning feature. Thank you to all beta participants for your valuable feedback!
Read Shelf + Inventory Mode
Streamlines library workflows by automatically updating the item's Last Inventoried date and Inventoried Count in WMS when confirming an item's location.
"Missing - Check Status" Option
- Select (!) and choose Missing - Check Status to check an item's availability and view its status directly on the screen.
- Availability check results are logged in the .xlsx output of your shelf reading session
"Accidentally Inventoried" Option
- Flag items you accidentally inventoried via the (!) menu.
- Please note: Items cannot be "un-inventoried" - this just allows you to document items you accidentally inventoried. Inventory carefully!
What's Next
-
Exploring multi-part item handling for shelf reading and inventorying, addressing beta feedback on processing multi-volume items like encyclopedias.
Next-Generation Notifications: Notification History Enhancements
With the new Notification History features, staff can view details of previously sent notifications and take actions to either resend or print individual notifications.
Note: In order to use these features, a Staff Administrative user must make the following changes in Service Configuration
- Navigate to Admin/General
- Select History.
- Enable Resend Notifications.
Note: You must first enable Notification History before you are able to enable Resend Notifications.
View Notification History
To view the Print History of notifications, navigate to the Notification History screen from the patron or item pages within the Staff UI.
Print a Notification
To print a notification:
- Select the Actions dropdown next to your desired notification.
- Select Network print. A preview screen will appear, allowing you to review the subject line, timestamp, and full message content.
- Select Print.
Resend a Notification
Per inviare nuovamente una notifica:
- Select the Actions dropdown next to your desired notification.

- You may choose to change the recipient (e.g. to an alternative email) and reply-to address before sending.
Upon resend, a new notification will appear in the Notification History and will be identified as a "Resend". The original notification will also display a message showing the last time it was resent.
