When I had no categories selected in BatchCheckoutsValidCategories, only one checkout was allowed at a time, as you described (Step 6). Once I'd enabled one category in BatchCheckoutsValidCategories, however, I was able to perform batch checkouts via the SCO with any patron, regardless of their category.
Otherwise everything worked as described. Thanks!
I did a little more testing this morning and confirmed that BatchCheckoutsValidCategories is being enforced based on the category of the account used to activate the SCO, rather than the account of the patron. In KTD by default that's the self-check user, who is in category Staff. I did the following test: 1 - Enable BatchCheckouts, select nothing in BatchCheckoutsValidCategories 2 - confirm AutoSelfCheckAllowed is allowed and contains the username and password for the self_check user. Confirm self_check user is in category Staff 3 - log into SCO with a user in category Patron, confirm you can only check out 1 item at a time 4 - select Staff in BatchCheckoutsValidCategories 5 - log into SCO with your Patron user again, confirm you can check out multiple items at a time 6 - edit the self_check user, change category to Patron 7 - log into SCO with your Patron user again, now you are back to only checking out 1 item at a time -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
