Add custom facets to Enquiry searches
It is now possible for staff to add custom facets to all Enquiry searches. Custom facets use boolean queries to refine searches performed by staff.

The new Search Forms feature in the Maintenance module allows staff to add a rich-text section (including images, HTML, etc) at the bottom of any Enquiry search form.

Additional options for reservation placement in a consortium
For libraries operating as part of a consortium that also allow reservation placement on global holdings, some additional parameters have been implemented to control the behaviour of these reservations at the OPAC. These can be set in the Reservations section on the General tab of the Enquiry HTML Configurator.
The parameters control:
- the default behaviour of when a reservation will be placed on local or global holdings
- text labels to describe which holdings will be reserved
