by Peter Lau 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

When displaying an item information on OPAC, currently the setting is to display this information in that order: 1. Item Type 2. Current Location 3. Call number 4. Status 5. Date due 6. Barcode 7. Item Hold Can the order be changed and some of the fields be excluded or new fields added for display?

We've had libraries that have run into the same issue you have Sonia. Generally we suggest that they add their branch (MAIN branch) to the branch limitations for all authorised values so that they can then see those values when cataloging. Conversely, we've had larger consortiums that set up a Technical Services branch that the catalogers are assigned to and that branch is then added to the list of the authorised values branch limitations. While both of those are 'free' workarounds for the library, I can see room for improvement in this area. I talked to our educators and developers and thought these might make two great options to enhance this functionaliy. 1. Paul's idea to make the authorised value dropdowns change dynamically is nice. Kyle mentioned this could be done with some javascript and an API 2. Our educators thought perhaps we should add a permission to the cataloging area that is something like "view and choose all authorized values". So catalogers would have this particular option selected and all values would appear in the list for selection when creating items. -joy On Wed, Dec 19, 2018 at 9:24 AM Paul Poulain <paul.poulain(a)biblibre.com> wrote: > IMHO, that's a bug (or a mistake in behavior) > > When you create an item, if you create it for homebranch X, you must be > able to see location defined for branch X.

Branches limitations for locations
by BOUIS Sonia 19 Dec '18

19 Dec '18

Hello, It is possible in Koha to limit the locations to specific branches. This limitation is active when adding items and in item search. Currently, this limitation is linked to the branch where you are logged. But this behavior doesn't fit with our organization because with have a centralized service to add items for all branches. I wonder if we could change this behavior to limit the location to the branch selected in the home branch or the holding branch (I presume the holding branch is more logical?) Actually, I don't think it would be a big change for people that already use this functionality because, if I am not mistaken, when you add a new item, you're by default on the branch where you are logged. For item search, it could be disturbing to be able to choose any branches for home branch or holding branch, but only the location from the branch where you are logged. We could perhaps change to limit the location the branch that are selected in the search form? Any opinion?
