There is very minimal documentation in the manual on this
(http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/x3727#AEN3980  and
 http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/x3727#AEN3999) - I
have asked for help from others in this area since I don't know enough
to write up the manual pages on these.  If you get a good answer,
please feel free to share and I'll put it in the manual for all.

Thanks
Nicole
