Hi, 1) I am afraid this is not possible at the moment. If you want to look into adding this feature, logging a bug on bugzilla with a description of the feature would be a good starting point. I think the feature would have to be optional as some might prefer the quicker checkout without the additional confirmation. 2) What you want to do is currently not possible, but you could turn off the check-in feature from the self check module (system preference: AllowSelfCheckReturns), ask the patrons to leave the books at the library, and return them later. Hope this helps, Katrin|| On 13.11.2016 05:48, Krishna K wrote:

Hi,

We plan to use the self checkout feature at our school library so that students and teachers can do the check outs/check ins themselves. I see 2 challenges, would appreciate any help on the same.

1. Self checkout - Once I login and enter the bar code of the book and click on Submit, the book gets issued to me. We prefer to have a pop up message that shows the title of the book corresponding to the entered bar code and accepts confirmation. Something like " Are you sure you want to checkout the Title "xxxxxxxx" ? " with a Yes and No clickable button. Once I click on Yes, the checkout should happen. We feel this feature will be extremely useful for people with dyslexia who may enter the bar code differently(we dont plan to use bar code scanners). Is there any parameter for enabling this ? If I need to customize, what should I do ?

2. Checkin thru the Self checkout module - when I login thru the Self checkout module, I am able to see the books already checked out by me. Against each book, I see a checkin button. When I click on the button, the checkin happens. It does not ask for the bar code of the book - because of this, it is quite possible for people to click on Checkin, without actually having the book with them or returning the book!! How do I make Koha prompt me to enter the bar code of the book ?(I see that checkin thru the staff login has this feature!!)

Thanks for your help.
