Hi Lino, I struggled with this too, and came up with entering 3 locations (which are physical buildings) and 4 locations (which are collections or departments within the actual buildings). So 7 altogether, a mixture of buildings, departments and 'virtual' locations. Would love to hear other people's solutions as I am still quietly working through configuration before a data import and still have time to change.. cheers Jo. Lino Tremblay wrote:
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to figure out how I'll set up my locations, and I'd like to know how you guys did. As our situation not atypicall, I'm sure some of you have faced the same problem
So: we have several collections here, located for the most part in three places: library, departments and laboratories. Each of these locations is divided in several sublocations/collections. My problem is that all locations/sublocations/collections in Koha are at the same level: in an item, I could choose "Library" as a location, and a specific department as a sublocation - or the opposite, or any combination I can imagine - and it would be accepted.
My question now: is there a way to create a hierarchy so that my Location menu contains only my three locations, and the Sublocation/collection shows only the collections available within this location? Or at least refuse an invalid combination?
Thanks!
