Hiding locations from pickup anywhere

Sometimes, you may have locations that cannot support pickup anywhere (local lockers, closed buildings, etc), so these need to be hidden from patrons at other institutions. This can be done through the Discovery view's customization package.
This package can be found via:
- Log into Alma
- Click DISCOVERY
- Click Display Configuration > Configure Views
- Locate the view you wish to edit, click '...' to the right and choose 'Edit'
- Click the 'Manage Customization Package'
- If you have a current package, click the 'Download' button for 'Current View Customization Package'. If that is greyed out, click the 'Download' button for 'Template View Customization Package'
Inside the resulting zip archive, there is a CSS file.
Adding the following information (customized to your environment) will hide the "IRC Hamilton" location that has the location value of "112034360005152". These values can be found by opening the request form and looking at the source/inspecting the page's output.
/*Hide select Omni locations on the REQUEST FORM in Alma*/
/*makes sure that external patrons can't see weird locations at other Omni partners to request items to be sent to*/
/*remove the section for your own institution from this set below so that these locations show up for your LOCAL patrons*/
/*Brock Request Form*/
md-option[value="112034360005152$$OUT_OF_INSTITUTION"] { display: none; } /*IRC Hamilton*/
/*makes sure that external patrons can't see weird locations at other Omni partners to request items to be sent to*/
/*remove the section for your own institution from this set below so that these locations show up for your LOCAL patrons*/
/*Brock Request Form*/
md-option[value="112034360005152$$OUT_OF_INSTITUTION"] { display: none; } /*IRC Hamilton*/
