[Bug 39658] New: Allow definition of non-hierarchical linked patron accounts

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39658 Bug ID: 39658 Summary: Allow definition of non-hierarchical linked patron accounts Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com In a Koha system containing multiple functionally-autonomous libraries, one patron may have multiple distinct accounts within the same Koha system. These accounts represent distinct cards from distinct libraries and need their circulation rules enforced as such, so they can't be merged into one account. But no one of these accounts is "primary" and they all represent the same person, so guarantor/guarantee relationships are a poor conceptual fit (and may already be in use for their intended purpose). These linked/shared accounts would: - clearly link between each other in the Details of the patron record - optionally reciprocally enforce restrictions and blocks due to fines & fees (when one account is blocked, all are) - optionally allow checkout of on-hold items for shared accounts For that last item, assuming one patron has accounts card1 and card2. They have a hold ready for pickup on their card1 account. If Koha attempts to check the waiting item out to the card2 account, koha should check the item out on the card1 account, mark the hold complete, and give the user a clear on-screen message as to what happened. It should not ask for confirmation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 40251] New: Icon for self-check user permission

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40251 Bug ID: 40251 Summary: Icon for self-check user permission Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Patrons Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: hebah(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com, kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com Koha displays icons for users with catalogue permissions, super librarian users, and protected users. But it would be nice if there was an easy way to see that an account is also a self-check user with either self_checkout_module or self_checkin_module since those users have only those permissions and not catalogue. This would also make troubleshooting easier to be able to see at a glance, both for ruling out permissions issues with the self-check module itself AND in cases where users who shouldn't have it do, since self_checkout_module creates permissions conflicts on staff accounts if selected by accident. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[Bug 39981] New: Patron extended attribute search only available at patrons page

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39981 Bug ID: 39981 Summary: Patron extended attribute search only available at patrons page Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff interface Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: mikko.liimatainen(a)turku.fi QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com When you have selected patron attribute to be searchable in staff patron searches, this can only be done in the patrons page. However there are many other pages that have the patron search box available where you can't search with the extended patron attributes. I think patron attribute search should be available always when patron search is available. It would be more consistent with the description of the preference. "Check to make this attribute searchable in staff patron searches. If checked, this attribute will appear in patron search dropdowns." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 39094] New: Adjust system preferences to account for new option to refund the previous lost fee when marking an item Claims returned

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39094 Bug ID: 39094 Summary: Adjust system preferences to account for new option to refund the previous lost fee when marking an item Claims returned Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: System Administration Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: emily.lamancusa(a)montgomerycountymd.gov QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com Depends on: 33292 ClaimReturnedChargeFee has the option to charge a lost fee, don't charge, or ask if a lost fee should be charged, when marking an item claims returned. These options should be update to reflect the new option to refund the previous lost item fee. Currently, if the preference is set to "ask if a lost fee should be charged", the modal shows two checkboxes: "Charge a lost fee" and "Refund previous lost fee". If the preference is set to charge or don't charge, the checkbox for "Charge a lost fee" is (correctly) not displayed, but the checkbox for "Refund previous lost fee" is also not displayed. It's a bit odd to show either both checkboxes or neither. It would also be nice to have the same options for refunding the lost fee that we currently have for charging a lost fee (refund, don't refund, or ask). We should add more options to ClaimReturnedChargeFee, or add a ClaimReturnedRefundFee preference. Somewhat relatedly, if we are going to allow the modal to give the user both options to charge or refund (or neither), we should use radio buttons or a drop-down in that case, rather than checkboxes, since it does not make sense to check both at once.

[Bug 27919] New: Split Claims Return from LOST

It is confusing for patrons and staff to see a Claims Return as a Lost item, and there are times when an item needs to be marked both as Lost and as Claim Return, and combining those into one field can be a challenge. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

To recreate: Create a handful of patrons with the last name Johnson. Create a patron named John Johnson. Search for Johnson, John. You will notice the patron does not appear in predictive search, it will not redirect to that patron's account page, and their name/entry will not appear in the top of the search results. This makes it difficult to find these patrons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

[Bug 38902] New: Allow holds fine limit (maxoutstanding) to be determined by patron category

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=38902 Bug ID: 38902 Summary: Allow holds fine limit (maxoutstanding) to be determined by patron category Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: raina(a)flo.org QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com The system preference “maxoutstanding” is used to determine when patrons are blocked from making holds in the OPAC. For example, maxoutstanding: Prevent patrons from making holds on the OPAC if they owe more than 5 USD in fines. This is separate from the checkout fine limit (noissuescharge). Currently the maxoutstanding preference is applied to all patrons, and there's no way of changing the value for individual patron categories. Bug 28924 enables checkout fine limit to be set by patron category, but there's no way of changing the value for "maxoutstanding" by patron category, which means that all patron groups will still be blocked from placing holds in the OPAC at the same amount. It would be helpful to be able to determine when patrons should be blocked from making holds in the OPAC by patron category, like bug 28924 does for the checkout fine limit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The list should either be formatted with "=item" or indented to be treated as "pre formatted" chunk of text.

[Bug 40588] New: Clarify impact of edit_any_item permission when no library groups are defined

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=40588 Bug ID: 40588 Summary: Clarify impact of edit_any_item permission when no library groups are defined Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs(a)lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew(a)bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy(a)rijksmuseum.nl https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20256#c342 Per discussion on Bug 20256, the intended behavior is that when no library groups are defined a user with edit_items but not edit_any_item should only be able to edit items with a homebranch matching the user's logged in branch. Koha's doing this successfully, but the permissions and manual aren't clear about what the user should expext. The edit_items permission says: "Edit items (not including items restricted by library group) (edit_items)" The edit_any_item permissions says "Edit any item including items that would otherwise be restricted" The manual says of edit_any_item "This permission grants the ability to edit items belonging to libraries from other library groups." Together, these imply the assumption that item edits are unrestricted *unless* one defines library groups with the "Limit item edits" option set. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
