<h1>Notices</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Notices are messages sent to patrons, vendors and staff to notify them at key times.</p>
|
|
<h2>Add a new notice</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click 'New Notice'</li>
|
|
<li>Choose a 'Koha Module' to associate your notice with from the dropdown box</li>
|
|
<li>Enter a 'Code' abbreviation for your new notice (for example: 'ODUE' for Overdue Notice)</li>
|
|
<li>Enter a 'Name' for your new notice (for example 'Overdue Notice')</li>
|
|
<li>Enter a 'Message Subject' (for example 'Item Overdue')</li>
|
|
<li>Design your 'Message Body'</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Choose a field from the scroll down menu on the left side
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="background-color: #ffe599">
|
|
TIP: For help with what each field is, see the Notices: Database Fields section of this manual</span></li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>Click the '>>' button to insert that field into your text message where you'd like it to appear in the notice.</li>
|
|
<li>Continue adding 'field's and clicking '>>' to insert them into the notice until your message is completed.</li>
|
|
<li>Then, click 'Submit'</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="color: #ff0000">
|
|
IMPORTANT: Currently, Koha can not reference multiple biblios in a single notice (in other words--in the example below-- there is not just ONE email sent that describes ALL currently overdue items, but an email sent for EACH overdue item) </span></li>
|
|
</ul><h3>
|
|
How do I schedule overdue notices?</h3>To schedule overdue notices, you must use Koha's 'Notice/Status Trigger' tool.<br/>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>Get there:</em> More > Tools > Overdue notice/status triggers</li>
|
|
</ul><h3>
|
|
Where else do I use notices?</h3>In addition to ODUE ('Overdue Notice'), there are two other notices that come pre-defined in Koha:<br/>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>ACQCLAIM (Acquisition Claim): Used in the claimacquisition module
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>Get there:</em> More > Acquisitions > Late issues</li>
|
|
</ul></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>RLIST (Routing List): Used in the serials module
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><em>Get there:</em> More > Serials > New Subscription</li>
|
|
<li>You have the option to select the 'Routing List' notice when creating a new subscription (Choose from dropdown 'Patron notification').<br/>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span style="background-color: #ffe599">
|
|
TIP: Notice also that if you'd like to notify patrons of new serial issues, you can click on 'define a notice' which will take you to the 'Notices' tool</span></li>
