christiansaywhat asked: Can you explain the Lendle Stats, specifically the "spots in line booked" number? What does that mean? Is that the patron feature where they can hold their place in line?
That’s pretty much it, but when you say “hold their place in line”, that’s not quite right:
That’s how many Patrons have used our “Book My Spot” feature for a given book. Doing so essentially puts the person in the queue in the usual manner: If there are nine other requests, they’ll be tenth in the queue and even though they haven’t formally requested the book, they’ll move up as lends are fulfilled.
Once they get to the number one position, they’ll hold that spot until they’re ready to put in a formal request. Meanwhile, everyone else will simply leap-frog that person until they do.
The benefit, of course, is that a Patron can then book a spot in line for any number of books. This way, they’re still in the queue, they just don’t see requests fulfilled until they’re ready.
