Hi My colleagues often need to leave messages that must be seen at check-in. If the message concerns a patron, they can use Koha circulation message. (for example : "umbrella lost at the library...") But if the message concerns a specific item I think there is no easy way to do that. (for example : "at check-in of THIS book, give it to head librarian / change the barcode / change the call number...") At check in, the item public note is visible (in red), but we don't want these messages to be seen on the opac... We can not use item non-public note for this purpose, because : - it is not visible at check-in - it could not be filled in easily and quickly at check-out. We could maybe use the "materials" item fields (mapped with items.materials), but I don't like that because if we do so, we could not use it for its normal purpose anymore (for example "One leaflet with this CD") So most of my colleagues are using the patron circulation message with this kind of message : "When the book with barcode ...... and title ..... is check-in, change the barcode" But the message appears for each check-in... Maybe there is a function I did not see ? If not, don't you think it would be a pretty improvement to koha ? Best regards M.
