Hello David, it sounds rather as if you've got only part-way. The Modify screen you were looking at is the Modify a biblio screen. You need to go a step further in Acquisitions, and add your item records. Item type and class number are added to the group record (may be called biblioitem rather than group) and the branch, date due and date last seen are all part of the item record. Go to Acquisitions. Bring up your biblio record, and fill in the group and item information. Then it should all be there for you. Cheers Rosalie Blake On 29 Oct 2002, at 10:14, David Bucknell wrote:
Dear Koha Experts,
We have installed Koha and are now inputting books. We have encountered a discrepancy between what is input and what is found when searching. For example, we input the book type (Adult Non Fiction) and the call number, but when we search for and find the book, its type and call number are not displayed.
Item TypeClassBranchDate DueLast Seen
All of these (above) items are empty.
So, we tried to edit ("Modify") the record. To do this, we did a catalogue search, found the record and followed the link to it. Then we chose to "modify" the record.
However, not all of the necessary fields were included in the editing form -- the fields corresponding to the missing data above (Item TypeClassBranchDate DueLast Seen) were all missing.
Any ideas what we're doing wrong?
Thank you,
