Rhonda Kuiper <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #24 from Rhonda Kuiper <[email protected]> --- I wanted to share how our library uses items.permanent_location and items.location to show items in display locations. We have both fields mapped to MARC fields (items.location -> 'c' and items.permanent_location -> 'C'). An example of our workflow is: We want to create a new display of children's book. We batch modify the items.location field for all the items on the new display to show '2ND FLOOR DISPLAY' and the items.permanent_location remains unchanged showing the location of the collection it is usually shelved with. We do not mark/sticker the items that are going on display to save staff time. Little Johnny comes in and sees a book on the display that he wants. He checks it out (Nothing changes in the location fields). Later, Little Johnny returns the book and it is checked in. At this time the items.location field is set to CART (and the items.permanent_location field still remains unchanged). Because we have not marked/stickered the item, public services staff shelve the item in its usual location, not the display location. Some time later the items.location field is updated from CART to whatever was in the items.permanent_location which is still the original location of the item which is where it got shelved. This workflow keeps the items physical shelving location and the shelving location in Koha matching. Currently this workflow works if you use the item editor but when using batch modification, the permanent_location gets updated with the location field. Item editor and batch modification should work the same. -- 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/
