Best-Hold Selection Sort Order
------------------------------
-Best-Hold Selection Sort Order allows libraries to configure customized rules for Evergreen to use to select the best hold to fill at opportunistic capture. When a copy is captured for a hold upon check-in, Evergreen evaluates the holds in the system that the item could fill. Evergreen uses a set of rules, or a Best-Hold Selection Sort Order, to determine the best hold to fill with the item. In previous version of Evergreen, there were two sets of rules for Evergreen to use to determine the best hold to fulfill: Traditional and FIFO (First In, First Out). Traditional uses Org Unit Proximity to identify the nearest hold to fill. FIFO follows a strict order of first-in, first-out rules. This feature allows new, custom Best-Hold Selection Sort Orders to be created. Existing Best-Hold Selection Sort Orders can also be modified.

You can define the protection period in *Administration* -> *Server Administration* -> *Age Hold Protect Rules*.

In addition to time period, you can set the proximity value to define which organizational units are allowed to act as pickup libraries. The proximity values affect holds as follows:
* "1" allows holds where pickup library = owning library, parent, and child organizational units
* "2" allows holds where pickup library = owning library, parent, child, and/or sibling organizational units

Default Values for Item Import
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Evergreen now supports additional functionality for importing items through *Cataloging* -> *MARC Batch Import/Export*. When items are imported via a *Holdings Import Profile* in *Cataloging* -> *MARC Batch Import/Export*, Evergreen will create an item-level record for each copy. If an item barcode, call number, copy location, or circulation modifier is not set in the embedded holdings, Evergreen will apply a default value based on the configured Library Settings. A default prefix can be applied to the auto-generated call numbers and item barcodes.

. Adding a Located URI to the record

Copy Tags allow staff to apply custom, pre-defined labels or tags to items. Copy tags are visible in the public catalog and are searchable in both the staff client and public catalog based on configuration. This feature was designed to be used for Digital Bookplates to attach donation or memorial information to items, but may be used for broader purposes to tag items.
