Regarding statistics and logs
by Suresh Kumar Tejomurtula 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hi I would like to know the reason behind the below: Why the userid field is not added to the statistics table and instead a new record is generated in logs table to know who did the transaction. In the above case, a duplicate record is getting created in logs and also in statistics. If userid is added to the statistics table it's easy to generate reports and duplicate data creation can be avoided. Pls correct me if I understood the process wrongly about this. Regards T suresh kumar

How does the AutoEmailOpacUser preference work?
by Arturo Longoria 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Hello, Our library enabled the AutoEmailOpacUser preference so that patrons receive a notification of their account details when we create an account for them via the staff client -- http://manual.koha-community.org/17.11/en/administration.html#AutoEmailOPAC… -- and we've set AutoEmailPrimaryAddress to use the first valid e-mail found in the account. But we've noticed that the e-mail is not always sent when the account includes a valid e-mail. The documentation does not mention any specifics, so I was wondering if anyone can explain how this feature works? It seems to be sent only if the username field is blank AND there is a password included. I've found that if staff do not include a value in the password fields, the e-mail is not sent. If the password fields are filled out and staff also include a username, the e-mail is not sent. Is this the intended behavior?

Default currency problem during purchase suggestion
by vinod mishra 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Hello The currency entered in patrons purchase suggestion should display in inside the orders by default. At present when we put the title in order from purchase suggestion it takes default currency. For example if default is USD and we selected GBP during placing purchase suggestion than it will reflect USD in order and again we have to make it GBP which takes unnecessary time. Please suggest. Koha 16.11.11 With Regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, Biju Patnaik Central Library (BPCL), NIT Rourkela, Sundergadh-769008, Odisha, India.

‘Replace Record via Z39.50’
by Katharina Klausner 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

I'm migrating our library to Koha and sucessfully used marcedit to create marc records including item information. However, the marc records are pretty simple and I'd like to add more information. I saw Koha has the option ‘Replace Record via Z39.50’ from the Edit men u and I'd like to know if there's a way to do this for all items at once. I'd be happy about any suggestions -Katharina
