ignorant question: seen?
Hi, I need clarification on the meaning of "Seen" like in "Mark seen". What is this process all about. Does it have anything to do with visual inspection of wear & tear by a library staff? Thanks. Benedict

As far as I can understand, "seen" just means that the item has recently been circulated (so we know it still exists). "Mark seen" would mean "to tell Koha that this item is known to still physically exist". -- Ambrose LI Cheuk-Wing <a.c.li@ieee.org> http://ada.dhs.org/~acli/

right. The "mark seen" is in the "inventory" feature : you manually say to Koha "i've seen this item". It's for items that does not circulate often. For those circulating often, they are marked seen on each circ (issue or return) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
