Hi John,
if the item type from the item or from the record is used is determined
by the setting of the system preference item-level_itypes. Make sure the
setting fits your setup.
In a lot of libraries there might be branches using different item types
(you can also think of them as loan types, as they determine the
circulation condition used) for items on the same record. Or in some
libraries there might be one item that is for reference to remain in the
library and others that can be checked out.
Hope this helps,
Katrin

thinking about this further the best solution might be to eliminate
field 995 r from the items menu altogether. It is probably redundant in
that 942 in the UNIMARC record already has this info. Not sure why an
item would need to be different.

Hi Caroline
thanks for your answer. Yes I confirm that itemtypes is present in the
table "authorized_value_categories". This value has is_system = 1.

Hi John,
I looked in my db and noticed there was an entry "itemtypes" in the
table "authorised_value_categories". Do you also have this? I'm not
sure how item types as authorised values are managed since it is not a
real authorised value category.

Hi
first of all let me say I'm completely new to Koha and am taking a look
at it potentially to use in a school library. So thanks to all the
people that have contributed to making the software what it is today.
It's been a bit of a learning curve. First off, I tried and abandoned
the idea of installing on my existing Centos 8 server and took the
easier path of using the packaged install on latest Ubuntu release on a
new dedicated server, following this link:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
I did find an issue that stopped me installing mariadb due to
incompatible versions, but mysql installed without problems.
Needing to use Italian, I did run into some issues in the provided sql
which I had to tweak in order to get the install to correctly finish
without violating not null constraints (on the 307 record in the
marc_subfield_structure).
So now I've got an up and running installation which I'm trying out, but
one thing which I cannot work out.
After adding a Unimarc record, I'm on the editor for adding items.
There's a field 995 r "Type of item and material" (or in my version
"Tipo della copia e materiale". This is a free input text field, not a
drop down menu limited to a list of predefined values.
In the Italian translation this field did not have any
"authorised_value" in the table marc_subfield_structure. I've modified
with the value itemtypes. However for some reason this does not seem to
make the field into a drop down menu in the staff GUI. So my question
to more experienced users are: after changing the "authorised_value" do
I need to run a script or restart something in order to get the free
text field to change into a drop down menu?
Or is there a different way of doing that?
thanks for any help.
John
