The reason is to avoid mistakes because our School Librarians always forget to start barcode with <branchcode>.

General outline: 1) Add the option to each group for it to be a "search" group 2) Port over existing groups by creating a new group for each "categorycode" in the branchrelations table 3) Re-implement the group search using the new system, remove the old system -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

"Self-checkout" (with a hyphen) is strongly indicated as the correct spelling according to major online dictionaries and general search results. While we haven't exhaustively checked every English language variant (GB, US, AU, etc.), key dictionaries like Collins, Merriam-Webster, and Oxford consistently define "self-" as a prefix that requires a hyphen in this context. Standardizing on "Self-checkout" would improve consistency within the Koha interface and align it with widely accepted English usage, making it clearer and more professional for all users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
