https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=43165 Bug ID: 43165 Summary: Allow future weekly opening-hours schedules to be configured and activated automatically per library Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: System Administration Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: i.tortorella@arts.ac.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Koha allows opening hours to be recorded for individual libraries, but changes to these hours must be made manually when a new timetable takes effect. Libraries may have several changes of opening hours during the year, for example term-time hours, vacation hours, reduced holiday hours or temporary extended opening. Each branch may also have its own opening pattern and may change to the new timetable on a different date. Where an installation has several branches, Systems staff currently need to update each library manually when the new hours come into effect. This can require changes to be made in several stages and creates a risk that opening hours are updated late or incorrectly. It would be useful to allow staff to create future opening-hours schedules for individual libraries and specify when each schedule should become active. The functionality could allow staff to: 1. Configure a complete weekly opening-hours pattern for a library. 2. Assign an effective start date to the pattern. 3. Optionally assign an end date or select the schedule that should follow it. 4. Prepare several future schedules in advance. 5. Configure different schedules and effective dates for different branches. 6. View the current and upcoming schedules for each library. 7. Edit or cancel a scheduled change before it becomes active. 8. Have Koha activate the relevant schedule automatically on the specified date. A scheduled pattern should be able to include different opening and closing times for each day of the week, including days when the library is normally closed. Example use case: A multi-branch academic library service has different term-time and vacation opening hours for each library. Staff know the dates of the changes in advance and would like to enter the schedules before the start of the academic year. Koha would then automatically activate the relevant vacation timetable at the end of term and the appropriate term-time timetable when the next term begins. At present, staff must wait until each change takes effect and manually amend the opening hours for every branch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
