(Kind of unfinished development?) Note that it looks like desk > actually is a pickup location here? I think the development base is good, but yes, there are definitely missing features to make it more useful. I think in at least some use cases, we'd also like the patrons to be able to pick the desks for pick-up. But at least they should be informed on where the item is waiting exactly. > And adding yet another use case: > I would need a pickup location for patron type A (employees) within branch X > and a pickup location for patron type B (external patrons) within X. This > second pickup location does not make much sense as a separate branch. > So, I could switch to 'desks'. But limiting desks is far out of reach? What do you mean with limiting desks - a limit by patron category? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
