Hello,



                The Cooperative Information Network (CIN) is looking for
individuals or groups that would be interested in helping to fund an
enhancement for Koha that speeds up editing of linked patron accounts.



The Issue:

When updating patron information for multiple patrons (i.e., within a
family), each patron must be individually accessed, edited, and saved.
Depending on the size of the family, and the amount of changes to be made
to each patron, this can take a long time to accomplish.  It also creates
more opportunities for inadvertent typos, as the information is repeatedly
entered and saved.



 The Solution:

                We want to create check box that appears on a patron’s edit
screen, if there are linked accounts.  When this box is checked, upon
clicking the Save button, Koha will bring up all linked accounts, and
pre-populate the fields with the updated information.  Staff would then be
able to review the information, and optionally change any field that is
specific to that patron (a unique email address, for example).  Once staff
verifies the information, the Save button is clicked to update the linked
patron.



                This project has been quoted to be about $6000 to fund.  If
you are interested in helping to fund this project, please let me know.

Good afternoon,

                The Cooperative Information Network (CIN) is looking for
individuals or groups that would be interested in helping to fund an
enhancement for Koha that would allow a session override for checkouts.



The Issue:

Currently, the OverduesBlockCirc blocks an individual from checking out an
item if they have an overdue.  This overdue generates a block/override
message for each item the patron checks out, as long as they have an
overdue item on their account.  This is not a big issue if they have one or
two items that they are checking out.  However, when you have family that
has checked out 25-50 items, and the items are overdue, even by a day, and
they drop them in the book drop and then come to the checkout desk with
another 25-50 items, this can be a burdensome task.  The staff member
either has to take time and locate all the items from the checkout desk and
check them in, or they have to checkout items, and override the block on
each item.



Turning off the OverduesBlockCirc is not an option in our case, because in
general, we want this to stop people from checking items out if they have
overdues that haven’t been returned, and we do not accrue fines.



The Solution:

                We want to create a preference that would allow session
overrides.  The means, when the preference is on, it would allow the block
message to come up, and if overridden, the override would remain in effect
while the staff member remains on the checkout screen for that patron.
Once they navigate away, the override is cleared.



                This project has been quoted to be about $5500 to fund.  If
you are interested in helping to fund this project, please let me know.
