Processing has been updated in the Console to store the request’s material type as a code rather than a description. Following the change all new requests will have a visible material description.

This means that the maximum number of holds limit is respected.	02/17/2025
Client - Catalog > Title > Items	When multiple items are selected on the title page, several actions can be performed via the right-click menu. One of these actions was "Relabel".
