--- Comment #80 from Olli-Antti Kivilahti <olli-antti.kivila...@jns.fi> --- Canceling an in-progress transport causes issues in real life. When a book is being moved between cities, it is essential to know that the item is on the move. When the Item in the rotating collection reaches the transfer destination, it is automatically sent back to the "new" home library (depending on the sysprefs). Initially the idea back here was to be able to create these Rotating Collections by utilizing the normal consortial transportation features. So we could put items from multiple branches to one rotating collection destined to one place. For example if we want to make a collection of a special topic from all the books available throughout the consortium. Ofcourse the items need to be checked-in to activate the transfer and this needs some manual work in notifying each branch about the desired items which are waiting in shelves. Items on normal circulation tend to move towards the rotating collection "home" after they are checked-in. I guess there are still some issues with the idea, but I don't think canceling transfers is the way to go. It would be better to force items in a rotating collection to be sent to the rotating collection "home" after they reach their destination. Regarding holds queue for items on a rotating collection. We thought that it will be something the librarian needs to consider, maybe as a follow up feature to block placing holds on rotating collections via syspref or via a option in the rotating collection itself (better!). I just don't feel like missing the opportunity to providing a tool to do cool things with our material, is worth the price of assuming that all the Items are immediately available when they are put to the collection. Even if that would be the easy way out. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://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/
