Change the hold pickup location from PowerPAC

When at least one hold status is selected in the Hold options parameter at the system level, patrons can select holds with any of these selected statuses in the Requests view of their PowerPAC account, and click or tap Change Pickup Location. If no hold statuses are selected, the Change Pickup Location button does not appear. For information about the Administration parameters, see: Set Holds options: Enable patrons to change the holds pickup branch from the PAC.
