[Koha] Locations and sublocations

[Rachel Hollis]

What I did was create a library for each campus location within the company, then under Authorized Values created locations for separate departments. Fortunately while the company has campus locations in several states, it uses the same terminology for departments within campus locations. The OPAC identifies materials by campus location on search results screens, then within the specific item, which campus department has the item. I made some modifications to locations once I had a few records to evaluate.

Subject: [Koha] Locations and sublocations

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!

Lino
