[Bug 37107] New: Unclear descriptions for DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories and DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37107 Bug ID: 37107 Summary: Unclear descriptions for DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories and DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 24.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: trivial Priority: P5 - low Component: Documentation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: sbrown@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: aude.charillon@ptfs-europe.com, philip.orr@lmscloud.de The descriptions for the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories and DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories system preferences refer to 'overdues' - for example: -"Set the default patron categories to receive overdues to" -"Leave this field empty if you want to process overdues for all patron categories" This makes it sound like the system preferences are about whether patrons receive overdue notices ("receive overdues") or are eligible to have items be considered overdue ("process overdues"), but really they control whether items checked out patrons in these categories are set to a lost value by the longoverdue.pl cron. The system preferences' descriptions should be clarified to make this clear. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

As it is not related to the Koha manual but rather is a suggestion to clarify elements in the staff interface, I am changing the component from Documentation to Staff interface to make sure it reaches more relevant people. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Should be a relatively easy fix: Set the patron categories whose items should age to long overdue lost (based on DefaultLongOverdueLostValue and DefaultLongOverdueDays system preferences) <Patron categories list> Leave this field empty if you want the long overdue process to run for all patron categories. (Used when the longoverdue.pl script is called without the --category parameter) WARNING — This preference will be active only if DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories is empty. OR Set the patron categories whose items should not age to long overdue lost <Patron categories list> Leave this field empty if you want the long overdue process to run for all patron categories. (Used when the longoverdue.pl script is called without the --skip-category parameter) WARNING - This preference overrides the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories preference, so the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories filter will not take effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

The descriptions for the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories and DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories system preferences now read: -- The long overdue process affects patrons in the <categories> categories. Leave this field empty if you want to process long overdues for all patron categories. (Used when the longoverdue.pl script is called without the --category parameter) WARNING: This preference will be active only if DefaultLongOverdueSkipPatronCategories is empty. The long overdue process does not affect patrons in the <categories> categories. Leave this field empty if you want to process long overdues for all patron categories. (Used when the longoverdue.pl script is called without the --skip-category parameter) WARNING: This preference overrides the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories preference, so the DefaultLongOverduePatronCategories filter will not take effect. NOTE: This system preference requires the misc/cronjobs/longoverdue.pl cronjob. Ask your system administrator to schedule it. -- Feel free to reopen if we want further changes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
