Wishlist

The library supports a wishlist for each person. The wishlist holds the books that the person wants to get. A wishlist book with Buy set goes on a to-do list of that person as "Title by Author".

The wishlist with the to-do list of each person

Add a book to the wishlist​

  1. Open the Wishlist page of the Library tab, and select Add to wishlist.
  2. Enter the ISBN or the title, and select the person.
  3. Set Buy if the book must go on the to-do list now.
  4. Select Save.

You can also select Add to wishlist on the detail page of a book. A book is on the wishlist of 1 person at a time. A Goodreads or StoryGraph import puts each "to-read" book with no owned copy on the wishlist (Import and export).

Got it​

When the book arrives, select Got it and select the shelf and the format. The library adds a copy and removes the book from the wishlist.

Per-person to-do list​

An admin selects the to-do list of each person in the Settings page, in Wishlist to-do list. The list must be an existing todo entity. It is not the shopping list of Home Keeper, unless you select that list.

  • A book with Buy set gets 1 item on the list of its person.
  • When the person completes the item, the library marks the book Bought.
  • When Buy turns off or the book leaves the wishlist, the library removes the item.
  • If a person deletes the item from the list, Buy turns off. Set Buy again to put the item back.
  • The library never changes a completed item.

The library checks the lists after each change and every 10 minutes. If a list is not available, the library tries again later and removes no item.
