Excellent idea. We've thought about adding that, and while it's a stretch goal we'd really like to see it too. 2016-01-07 14:00 GMT-07:00 Liz Rea <liz@catalyst.net.nz>:
And a branch. You'd need that too.

I'd like to see a test mode where you can scan a borrower and an item, and it will tell you which rule applied.

The backend and frontend of the circulation/policy rules in Koha have been extended and stretched to the point where they cause a fair amount of issues and frustration. Many librarians and developers are uncertain when default rules are applied, and the very large number of possible settings makes the interface and backend unwieldy.
Full details for our intended solution can be found at the link at the bottom of this email, but here's the gist:
Instead of having one database row with all settings for a given library/category/itemtype, allow each setting (checkout length, fine amount, holds allowed, etc.) to be specified separately. Rework the interface to more clearly show the specificity of default/specific rules, and allow for this new database model. Accomplish the above incrementally by gradually changing APIs.

Any and all comments are appreciated. Development on this project has
been
fully sponsored, and we are looking to start work later this year.
