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.
