I’m a little leery of trying to change the design of the Loan screen so fundamentally, especially when we hope that most users won’t have blocks. Would another option be to list the blocks in the pop-up modal (as previously discussed) and then have a blocks count in the patron section? Then clicking on the number would take you to the user record and the detailed blocks section we discussed adding to that screen? That seems more in line with how we’re handling data like fines, etc.

What do others think?

Best,
David
