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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
