[Koha] Circulation rule for Collection.

[Rupinder Singh]

You are absolutely right mr Delahunty,
Circulation rules needs these two parameters, item type, patron catagory.
But I was wondering if there is any way to restrict collection codes from
circulating.
Anyway, I guess I'll have to batch edit my records.
Thank you so much
Best
