Problems with "My Lists" in Dynix

This information was sent by email from Link. We don't know if this will come up very much, but it is probably not on the link blog. So, this is FYI.

We have had a couple of reports of spouses' My Lists getting merged together. We have reported this to SirsiDynix and it is a known bug. I have posted the full description of the bug from SirsiDynix below. The problem is that My List does not always get logged out when a patron logs out. I also noticed that the list is not logged out when a session times out. For this reason, patrons should be encouraged to always close their browser when they are done with their session in LINKcat. I will post something on the LINK Help Page. I do not expect that this will be fixed in our current software.


PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

When a borrower clicks the logout button in HIP their My List might not be cleared. If another borrower logs into HIP before the previous borrowers session times out the My List will get transfered and merged with the new borrowers List.
