Re: [Koha] Check In - Check out multiple items.
by Peter Aronson 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi Anthony, One way to do this is to have only 1 barcode — the box. On the items screen, set the item type as Mixed Materials. And at the top (sorry, I don't have Koha open right now, so I don't know what number) there's a field called Materials Specified. If you put something on that line, such as "1 Camera, 1 Cable, 1 Speaker", that text will show up when the person checks the item(s) back in. So the librarian will see that message and can check to make sure all the pieces are there. Just to be sure, we used CSS to make that alert text box RED. A more problematic situation we have run into is: What to do about a boxed set of books? We have each book barcoded so they can be checked out individually. So what do people normally do with the nice box, throw it away? Or shelve the books in the box but don't put the box in the system?

Check In - Check out multiple items.
by Laquerre, Anthony 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi everyone, We are currently looking at is a way to check in and check out a single items that link to multiple items. Here's the need : Check out : User have a box. Inside that box there is : 1 - Camera, 1- Cable, 1- Speaker. Each individual item have a barcode. What we would like to do is : If I scan the box barcode , I will at the same checkout : Camera, Cable and the speaker. On check in, we would like a smiliar process but we would need to make each item are really return... Is that possible rignt now in Koha ? If not, what do you think of the idea ? Thanks! Anthony

Re: [Koha] Relevance

Lori, Thanks for the information. This pretty much says what ByWater told us to set when we went online, but I'm still looking for information on how relevance works, and why it does what it does. This still remains a mystery.

Cataloguing Items with Multiple Parts
by Joel Harbottle 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi All, I'm cataloguing an item with multiple books as part of the package. Ideally, I want to catalogue each individual book in the package and then link those Bibliographic records to a 'main' Bibliographic record for the kit/package? I used to be able to easily do this in our old ILS, but still haven't come up with a way to achieve this in Koha. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Koha Search Results Availability of Items?
by therrsonne02 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi, I'm or we are a new to Koha, and we need help? if there is any, thank you in advance. We are using Koha 3.8 version, we migrated using MARC edit because our former ILS does not supportthe conversion that Koha uses. We have tried migrating it and it was successful, using "no_zebra.pl", the problem is that when we use "zebra" the result would be 'none', so we again put it back to "no zebra". Then when we came across the 'circulation module', and in the OPAC view, the biblio infos were there, but the 'availability' option says " No items available" but when you click the biblio detail page "normal, marc, isbd view" you can see that there are holding items available to borrow. Will that be our problem? that's why we can't checkout/checkin an item without having that error? We can still checkout/check in an item, but the problem is that the error comes out, but when we refresh the page, it was already checkout/checkin in his account. Thank you again for the help that you may give to us... Would like to send you some image of the search results in our page but i do not find any attachment here... some of our screen: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5718346/01_search_results.jpg http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5718346/02_search_results_normal_vi… http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/file/n5718346/03_search_results_marc_view… -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-Search-Results-Availability-of-Items… Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
