[Koha] Looking for an even more simplified entry

[Alvaro Cornejo]

Hi Robert

The easiest way is to create your own framework. You can go to frameworks
and create one from scratch or take any of the ones that comes with koha
and customize it.

You can add personal field/sub-fields or remove/hide the ones you don't
need/use.

You can even create multiple frameworks; one for each type of
registry/material you want to create.

Regards

Alvaro
