http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9844 Bug ID: 9844 Summary: Add a barcode queue to checkout / return Classification: Unclassified Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Circulation Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: viktor.sarge@regionhalland.se CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com, kyle.m.hall@gmail.com Background: Some testing on a 70Mbit+ connection to a remote Koha install indicates that the system is a bottleneck when it comes to issuing checkouts or returning items. If a staff user scan barcodes to fast for the system to keep up then barcodes are lost and books will not have been checked out or returned. Plack for the staff interface might solve a part of this problem, but adding a queue would be great. Suggestion: Add a queue-box with high visibility of items that are not yet processed when checking out or returning items. If a user scans items quicker than than the system can process items the box will fill up. The system should process the barcodes in the queue-box using AJAX-code so that the whole page will not have to reload for every barcode. Ending the session (by printing receipt for checkout etc.) should not be possible until the queue is empty. Messages that today appear once per page (like holds on a title for example) will have to be duplicated since a librarian could scan multiple codes until an item has been processed by the system. Implications on existing code: I think this might require us to rewrite some of circulation.pl and returns.pl to use Ajax, insert the queue-box and to display multiple messages at once. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
