Task Schedule

Questions

1. Is RTAC part of holdings or do we need to track that separately?
   >>TA: it is part of detailed holdings. Effectively, this was nearly done in a prior Jira (will post it) and is being slight extended to include the agency description (plus a number of other fields which will come with the response from DCB but won’t be part of the display).

2. Full circulation, holds fulfillment, item circulation, renewal. Do we need to track them separately ?
   >>TA: Not for beta tracking but will want reporters to submit with that level of detail.

3. Full circulation vs. Item Circulation
   >>TA: No difference. Should just be full circulation.

4. Pending Infrastructure work
