https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27464 Bug ID: 27464 Summary: Extend functionality of AllowHoldsPolicyOverride to prevent some overrides Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 19.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Hold requests Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: madamyk@ckls.org QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com If one tries to create a "local use only" item type, there isn't a good way to make it impossible to place holds for anywhere other than its home branch. Setting restrictions on it in Circ rules allows any staff member with permissions to override the hold restrictions. Another option is setting an item to a lost status, but this is certainly not ideal: it clears the status every time the item is scanned, and it affects how it appears in the OPAC. What if there were a way to have finer control over the AllowHoldsPolicyOverride system preference? For instance, allow hold overrides as a separate permission for overriding circulation rules vs. overriding patron restrictions. It seems logical that overriding a restriction to check out to a patron is quite a bit different from ignoring specific circulation rules (if that makes sense). Perhaps another way to work around this would be a checkbox in the circulation rules with an option to "Ignore staff overrides" or something similar? It could be turned on or off for each individual circulation rule. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
