http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1367 Summary: easier switch from one patron to the next in issues Product: Koha Version: 2.2.9 Platform: PC OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: Circulation AssignedTo: chris.cormack@liblime.com ReportedBy: reacocard@gmail.com QAContact: koha-bugs@nongnu.org It would be great if, after entering the numbers for all one patron's materials, you could just type a different patron's number, and Koha could recognize it as a patron number and switch you over automatically to that next patron. I find having to click on circulation -> issues every time I want to switch patrons to be cumbersome and slow. I often have a large stack of materials to check out to various patrons (especially when lots of kids are in) and want to go quickly through many patrons. Having to switch between the keypad and the mouse is awkward (I don't have a barcode reader, and enter everything manually). My old system (circa 1992), despite its senescence, could nevertheless manage to distinguish a patron number from an item barcode number and respond appropriately. I find myself missing that convenience. I have thought of a couple of ways this could be implemented: 1) If the number entered is not found in the item database, look for it in the list of patrons. 2) Allow the user to specify how many digits are in patron and/or item barcodes, and use that to distinguish between them. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
