Additionally every framework shows a very tiny red asterisk (*) if a 
field is mandatory. So since all the fields 000, 001, 003, 005, 008, 
040$c, 245$a and 942$c in the standard framework are mandatory they show 
this small red asterisk at the left side.


I believe that this query started with cataloguing an *item*.  Our 
cataloguers occasionally run into this, and have always had difficulty 
when on the "items-edit" page understanding that they have to return to 
the "biblio-edit" page to put things right. Maybe it's a bug, but a 
little bit of experience with Koha goes a long way...

Hi Ashley!

I've never used 3.18, so my answer might not be 100% right.

I often get that error if I don't fill out the control fields (000, 003, 
008, and especially 005 which I always forget).


If you want to see which fields are mandatory, go to Administration > 
MARC bibliographic framework. Be sure to check the right framework you 
were using while cataloging (to check that, click on the Settings button 
in the cataloging form https://snag.gy/cNuFsB.jpg)


Once you're in the right framework, there is a column that says 
"Mandatory". This applies to the entire field. So for example, 000 is 
mandatory. However, subfields also have a "mandatory" flag. I'm not sure 
if you can have a mandatory subfield in a non mandatory field (not sure 
that makes sense), but I'd check that too. For example, 245 might not be 
mandatory, but 245 $a might be mandatory.


If you don't want to check all the 999+ subfields manually, you can 
export your framework in Excel or equivalent and check the mandatory 
column for 1's.


Let me know if you need more help!

There is also this library, which might prove useful:
https://leafletjs.com/
It can be used with custom images (e.g. a floorplan of a library).

I think a mapping function for Koha, where we could show the
(approximate) location of an item on a map, would be super useful. I
guess there are three ways to do it:

- Build it right into Koha
- Build it as a plugin for Koha
- Build a free standing web thingy that can work with Koha (through a
link from Koha to a map)

If anyone is interested in collaborating on this please let me know!

I don't know anything about how an implementation would work, but I'd
like to put in my vote for a solution that uses SVG. There are perl
libraries for generating SVG, so it might be possible to overlay a
dynamically-generated marker onto a custom SVG library map.
