Summary: Independent Branches sys pref change to let librarians
choose which things to share
QA Contact: koha.sekjal at gmail.com
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: melia at bywatersolutions.com
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Version: master
Component: Circulation
Product: Koha
Problem 1:
Because we want to share our resources and let our branches place holds on any
other branch's items, we have Independent Branches turned off. This also makes
everyone's patrons searchable, editable and check-out-able to every other
branch. Is there a way to make our items sharable but not our Patrons?
Problem 2:
Before migrating to this version of Koha, we never had a problem in sharing
items even while IndependentBranches was on, by using the
canreservefromotherbranches preference. Once we migrated, we could still share
items, it's just that the automatic transfer back to the owning branch does not
take place. We could get the hold, but we had trouble transferring the item
home. Because of these transfer problems, we have turned IndependentBranches
off.
Idea for solution:
The idea here would be to adapt the existing Independent Branches system
preference to let librarians choose which things they want to share
(holds/items/patrons/other objects). When this development is complete, it is
still possible to transfer an item back to its home library with both
IndependentBranches and canreserverfromotherbranches turned on.
