The Terrific Every-Other-Thursday Training Videos (On Friday) | 619
by BRANNON, CHRISTOPHER 19 Jun '26

19 Jun '26

We may be a day late, but we are not short on content. In fact, some of you may find this video triggering. Overdue triggering, that is. But this isn't just about overdue triggers. It is also about using AI to solve some issues. Christopher will share some code that turns an onerous task into something that can be done in a fraction of the time, both with setting the overdue triggers, and with creating jQuery to solve a problem. Today is a two-in-one special! https://youtu.be/aN_fwKU6adA Respectfully and late, Christopher Brannon koha-US Admin
