Question about "item type" nested and localization
Dear Koha members, Is there a way to localize an item type? I don't seem to see it under "Home › Administration › Item types administration" web console. Plus, is there a way to arrange item types in a nested form, for example, put item type "Systematic Theology" under item type "Theology". So that we may keep a clear hierarchy of item types. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Question-about-item-type-nested-and-locali... Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
That nested form you mention sounds more like a classification system. You might, at a stretch, be able to use 745 Taxonomic Identification for that, but I don't know how well it will search and display in Koha, you'll probably have to edit the framework. We use item types in our catalogue for different physical formats - books, manuscripts, microforms, audio formats, video formats, etc. We also group things by collections, as this often relates to their physical location. You can add more item types as needed, but I don't think they will nest. Look in Home>Administration> Item types administration under Basic parameters.
