Library DDA sent search results need to include DDA platform selected in output
I use the Library DDA Sent search tool, but when I then want to output the result set, even with tab-delimited Full options, there is no column that tells me which platform among the three in our DDA profile is the one we actually got for that tit...
When libraries have multiple acccounts and a user has logins for these mutliple accounts, rather than logging out and logging back in, it would be great to be able to toggle between the accounts.
