Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Morgan, Michele]

Benjamin,

It is true that there's no client interface yet to turn workstation
settings into user settings and org unit settings. It does require database
access and resources to manage. Whether or not it can work and be
manageable in your consortium depends on many factors, like size and
complexity, as well as access. Also, any workstation settings that are
turned into org unit settings will appear in the Library Settings Editor in
the client, an already long list.

As you found, you can see the server side workstation settings as Josh
describes, but you can't change them or turn them into user or org unit
settings there. You can delete them though, so be careful of that red X!

For those that are interested, I'll just share a couple of queries I have
used to create org unit settings from workstation settings.

First, the setting type needs to exist. This creates an org unit setting
type for the holds display in the staff catalog by copying the workstation
setting type:

insert into config.org_unit_setting_type (name, label, grp, description,
datatype)
select name, label, grp, description, datatype
from config.workstation_setting_type
where name = 'eg.grid.cat.catalog.wide_holds'

Once the org unit setting type exists, the setting can be created. This
copies that workstation setting from a specified workstation (id 2872) to
an org unit (id 28):

insert into actor.org_unit_setting (org_unit, name, value)
select 28 as org_unit, name, value
from actor.workstation_setting
where workstation = 2872
and name = 'eg.grid .cat.catalog.wide_holds '

The org unit setting will apply to a workstation in that org unit that
doesn't have a workstation setting of that type:

Hope this helps,

Michele

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Josh Stompro]

Ben, I just want to be clear, the  (Administration -> Workstation -> Stored
User Preferences -> Server Workstation Prefs.) does just show you what
prefs are set, you cannot edit them there. You could use that info to
request that an org unit setting type be created by CW Mars for the
preferences you want to control for your org.  And then if you have access
to changing library settings for your org, you could set the setting for
your org.

But you would need to be on 3.2+ for that to work.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Josh Stompro]

Wait, I just noticed that there is an easier way in the web staff client.

In the web staff client, look under Administration -> Workstation -> Stored
User Preferences -> Server Workstation Prefs.

That will list all the preferences and their values for the current
workstation preferences.

 Hi Josh,

 Since moving to 3.2 where workstation settings were moved to the
 server, we've been making use of org unit settings to set default print
 templates. Any workstation setting can be turned into an org unit setting
 as Bill Erickson described here:

 https://markmail.org/message/hfaogumstphagscy

 We have set a number of default print templates at the consortium org
 unit level as consortium defaults, and upon request of a library, have
 copied print templates configured on a given workstation into org unit
 settings for that library so they don't need to be set on each workstation.
 We've left the workstation setting types so that individual workstations
 can override the org unit settings when necessary.

 This has been pretty successful, eliminating the need for library staff
 to move them from workstation to workstation on a flash drive.

 We've done this for many column settings as well.

 Hope this is helpful.

Ben, I think you have to go to the database or source.

-- List all workstation setting types.
SELECT * FROM config.workstation_setting_type ORDER BY NAME;

Look at the 950.data.seed-values.sql file (huge file though). Search for
config.workstation_setting_type starting around line 18475.
https://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/950.data.seed-values.sql;h=daf37c36d36eb62f905fa75e8b1dc3ddc8b3d13e;hb=HEAD#l18475


 Once you know the name, I believe you would create an "Org Unit Setting
Type" with the same name.  Then you can set values for it via the library
settings editor.

This sounds amazing, but how does one find the settings related to a print
template (all of ours are workstation settings now) so that one can make
them a user setting or an org setting instead?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Josh Stompro]

Morgan, thank you for this info.  I totally missed the connection to print
templates when I read that message the first time around, and I don't think
I'm the only one.  When Bill posted his message about the server side
processed print templates in April 2019
,
I commented (along with a few other people) that it would be great to have
a way to centrally manage print templates, not realizing that had been
added 8 months earlier.

I started a bug report with notes on documenting this behavior in the print
templates section.

We did it the first way in 3.2.3 (modifying the templates). I'm looking
forward to playing with the new 3.4 GUI!

So we don't have to go running from workstation to workstation importing
templates...you are a lifesaver.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Morgan, Michele]

Hi Josh,

Since moving to 3.2 where workstation settings were moved to the server,
we've been making use of org unit settings to set default print templates.
Any workstation setting can be turned into an org unit setting as Bill
Erickson described here:

https://markmail.org/message/hfaogumstphagscy

We have set a number of default print templates at the consortium org unit
level as consortium defaults, and upon request of a library, have copied
print templates configured on a given workstation into org unit settings
for that library so they don't need to be set on each workstation. We've
left the workstation setting types so that individual workstations can
override the org unit settings when necessary.

This has been pretty successful, eliminating the need for library staff to
move them from workstation to workstation on a flash drive.

We've done this for many column settings as well.

Hope this is helpful.
Michele

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Cerninakova Eva]

Hi Josh,

it is possible to set global print templates using modified templates in
/openils/var/templates/staff/share/print_templates/ as you suggest. We use
Evergreen 3.2 currently and this setting works fine  for us. It is also
possible to set multiple "global" templates based on the location using
templates  overriding.


Hope this helps

Eva

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

[Josh Stompro]

Hello, I just want to make sure I have this correct while planning our
upgrade to 3.3

If I want to set global printer templates in the staff client in 3.3.3 I
can modify the templates at
/openils/var/templates/staff/share/print_templates/
or if I have alternate TT2 template locations
(/openils/var/templates_shared/) I can update them there.

If I need to set per location defaults for the print templates, I'll need
to enter data per workstation into actor.workstation_setting.

In 3.4 there will be an admin gui for updating the print templates per org
unit and locale.
