The system preference 'emailLibrarianWhenHoldIsPlaced' is not really functional, as far as I can tell. The cron job to process the message queue will send out patron notification, etc when a hold is filled, but does not enqueue a message when a hold is placed. I've submitted a bug/enh report here: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3242 Regards, Ryan On Wed, May 20, 2009 at 1:09 PM, Cab Vinton <bibliwho@gmail.com> wrote:
Thank you, Nicole.
Turns out we have this preference turned on, but I don't recall seeing any email notifications.
Does anyone know if notification of a hold placed is instant, or if it runs periodically?

There is a preference to receive an email whenever a hold is placed. http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/administration/global-system-prefer...
As for the reports - I often get confused and I'll be sure to update the manual with the notes provided here by other Koha people :)

I've searched the manual, but it appears that there's no provision for automatic staff notification whenever a patron places a hold on a title.
Is this true?
Lacking that feature, the "Holds to pull" report has to be checked periodically, correct?
I'm also unclear on the purpose of the "Holds queue" report. Can someone clarify?
I have a couple of titles in the queue, but can't remember how they got there, or how to get them off ...
Thank you,
