Re: [Koha] Branches and circulation rules
Ann, I am forwarding your questions to the mailing list. I am not sure you can do what you want to do with Koha – perhaps someone else has some ideas and can help you. Regards, Katrin From: library [mailto:libr...@katikaticollege.school.nz] Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2011 12:30 AM To: Fischer, Katrin Subject: Re: [Koha] Branches and circulation rules Thankyou for your help. Basically I want to be able to block patrons from issuing more books but allow them to get equipment. There are not separate permissions for different item types as far as I can see. I also need to isolate the book issuing/renewing/returning from the students and teachers who will be issuing the laptops.

With a separate itemtype you can set up rules for patron category/itemtype combinations, which works quite well. I am not sure if using a separate branch gives you a real advantage. You can do separate things for overdues in Koha, so I am not sure where your problem is located. You can block the patron from different actions (renewal, checkout, placing holds) using system preferences (OPACFineNoRenewals, noissuescharge, maxoutstanding) and a fine amount. You can also debar patrons with sending out overdue notices (tools overdue notice/status triggers). The number of overdue books does not influence the checkout, onle the fine amounts and time span since the books got overdue can. Those blocks will take effect system wide, so a separate branch will not make a difference. You can also check the manual for more information about fines and setting up circulation rules: http://koha-community.org/documentation/ Hope that helps a bit. -- Katrin -Original Message- From: koha-boun...@lists.katipo.co.nz on behalf of library Sent: Tue 08.11.2011 21:57 To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Branches and circulation rules Tena koutou We are struggling to understand the way individual branches work. We would like to create an independent branch to issue laptops to students (and departmental resources later) which will not be affected by how many library books students have overdue. I have tried setting circulation rules in the laptop issues branch to be completely different to those in our library but this has not worked. Are we able to define differing borrow rules for the same patron at different libraries. Could someone direct me to more complete instructions on how the overdues systems work or how circulation rules work. We are still using 3.2 but will be migrating to 3.6 in the New Year.

Re: [Koha] Import items not importing items
Thanks Hugo, have now double-checked the branch names and the item types match (BK became BKS!) and now the records seem to have the items attached. Still no search results from the OPAC but it's a start! Thanks for your help . 2011/11/8 Hugo Agud ha...@orex.es Hi have you checked that library code in 952 a and b is the same library code that is configured in Koha.. and that library code doesn't include hyphens... it is a nonsene but we faced a problem with that ;) 2011/11/7 WTC librar...@wtctheology.org.uk Hello I've just tried to import a couple of batches of items but they haven't imported. I've created MARC records with MarcEdit. I staged them for import. I looked for existing records based on ISBN (020$a) and Ignore incoming record if matching biblio found). I chose Yes to check for embedded items. I selected Always add items. Clicked on stage for import. The message was: 29 records in file 0 records not staged ... 29 records staged 29 records with at least one match ... 29 item records found and staged Clicked on Manage Staged Records All 29 items were auto_matched I clicked on Import this batch into the catalog The message was Completed import of records Number of records added 0 Number of records updated 0 Number of records ignored 29 Number of items added 29 Number of items ignored 0 Now normally when I do this there is a delay of a few minutes before the items are visibile in the catalogue, but these 29 items aren't showing at all. When I look at the record for an item it doesn't show the items that I just imported. I've done this procedure many times, and it has always worked. Any ideas on what may have gone wrong?

[Koha] setting up predue notices
Hi there, 1. Can anyone help me please to set up notices warning borrowers that items are nearly due. I see a predue notice in the notices list but can't find how to set up when it goes out. 2. Also, I would like to know how to insert the due date into this notice and the overdue notices. It does not appear in the list of fields available. I have scoured the manual but have not been able to find either item. What am I doing wrong?

The only time I have seen this issue is when something gets deleted or a record gets corrupted for a biblio that turns up on the 1st page of results for the failing search.
