  • Enter the invoice number is 'Vendor invoice' and the shipment date in 'Shipment date'
  • Click 'Save'
  • You'll need to choose which items arrived in this shipment
  • Either search by title or ISBN or click 'Receive order' next to the item you'd like to mark as received
  • Be sure to update the 'Quantity received' as well as any other information you need for your records
    • TIP: To add another received item, click the '+' (plus) icon at the bottom left.  If you add too many click the '-' (minus) to the right of the '+' (plus)
  • Click 'Save'
  • You will now see the received items in the summary of 'Items in this shipment'

About Classification Sources

Define classification sources (i.e., call number schemes) used by your collection. You can also define 'filing rules' used for sorting call numbers.

IMPORTANT: You do not have the option to 'define' a new filing rule. Currently, the filing rules and sorting routines are statically defined with options available in the dropdown menu when creating or editing a 'classification source' or 'filing rule'.


TIP: In the future, this features will be expanded to allow new filing rules to be created (defined) on the fly. In other words, in addition to choosing from a static sorting routine or filing rule, you will be able to actually to define new ones.

To add a new 'Classification Source'...

  • Click 'New Classification Source'
  • Enter a 'Classification source code'
  • Enter a 'Description' for your new classification source
  • Note if the classification source is in use (check the box for 'yes' and leave unchecked for 'no')
  • Choose a 'filing rule' from the dropdown menu to associate with your new classification source
  • Click 'Save'

IMPORTANT: 'Source in use?' controls whether source is available in item editor. For example, Koha ships with Dewey and LCC rules but a Dewey library may not want catalogers to mistakenly use LCC as an item callnumber type. To accomplish this, check box 'source in use?' only for the Dewey Classification Source and leave 'source in use' for all others unchecked.

To add a new 'Filing Rule'...


  • Click 'New Filing Rules'
  • Enter a 'Filing Rule Code'
  • Enter a 'Description' for your new filing rule
  • Choose a 'filing routine' from the dropdown menu to associate with your new filing rule
  • Click 'Save'

To edit a new 'Classification Source' or 'Filing Rule'...

  • Click 'edit' next to the 'classification source' or 'filing rule' you wish to edit
  • Edit
  • Click 'Save'

Patron attribute types


A patron attribute (or extended patron attribute) is an additional piece of information associated with a patron record.  Each attribute has a type that specifies whether the attribute is repeatable, can serve as a unique identifier, can take a password, and whether it can be used to search for patron records in the staff interface.

The list of attribute types is controlled by staff with 'superlibrarian' permissions.

Once an attribute type is defined, values for that attribute can be added to the patron record via the staff interface or the batch patron import.

Two uses of extended attributes are:


The extended attributes feature is completely optional.  If the 'ExtendPatronAttributes' system preference is OFF, customizable patron attributes will not be usable.

+Setting Patron Permissions

Patron permissions are used to define the rights of staff members when in the intranet/staff client.

  • To alter patron permissions, click on Patrons on the main menu at the top of the screen.
  • Search or browse for the patron you'd like to edit
  • Click on the patron's name from the results
  • Click the 'More' button on the top right of the patron profile and choose 'Set Permissions'
  • Choose the permissions you'd like this patron to have
  • You can pick as many permissions as you'd like for each staff member
    • TIP: If a staff member is set to 'superlibrarian' they have access to all functions and do not need any other permissions checked
  • To give staff members more granular permissions, you can turn on the GranularPermissions system preference
    • Get there: More > Administration > General preferences > Admin > GranularPermissions
    • If this setting is on the permissions menu will offer more granual permissions
    • This allows staff members access to specific tools
      • TIP: If this preference is turned OFF after being ON, the system reverts to the original behavior, although the specific permissions are retained.  This means if a staff member has been given granular permissions they will retain those even if this is turned OFF

Notices

Notices are messages sent to patrons, vendors and staff to notify them at key times.

Add a new notice

  • Click 'New Notice'
  • Choose a 'Koha Module' to associate your notice with from the dropdown box
  • Enter a 'Code' abbreviation for your new notice (for example: 'ODUE' for Overdue Notice)
  • Enter a 'Name' for your new notice (for example 'Overdue Notice')
  • Enter a 'Message Subject' (for example 'Item Overdue')
  • Design your 'Message Body'
  •  
    • Choose a field from the scroll down menu on the left side
      • TIP: For help with what each field is, see the Notices: Database Fields section of this manual
    • Click the '>>' button to insert that field into your text message where you'd like it to appear in the notice.
    • Continue adding 'field's and clicking '>>' to insert them into the notice until your message is completed.
    • Then, click 'Submit'
  • 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) 

How do I schedule overdue notices?

To schedule overdue notices, you must use Koha's 'Notice/Status Trigger' tool.
  • Get there: More > Tools > Overdue notice/status triggers

Where else do I use notices?

In addition to ODUE ('Overdue Notice'), there are two other notices that come pre-defined in Koha:
  • ACQCLAIM (Acquisition Claim): Used in the claimacquisition module
    • Get there: More > Acquisitions > Late issues
  • RLIST (Routing List): Used in the serials module
    • Get there: More > Serials > New Subscription
    • You have the option to select the 'Routing List' notice when creating a new subscription (Choose from dropdown 'Patron notification').
      • 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

Overdue 'Notice/Status Triggers'

This tool lets you define triggers for overdue notices. You can send a borrower up to three notices and also tell Koha how many days should pass between the day a book was due and the sending of each of these notices. Koha lets you define a different notice schedule for each branch, and different schedules for each patron type you've defined within those branches. Finally you can set a notice to trigger a 'debar' on the borrower's account during any of the three triggers.

  • Go to the 'Tools' module (usually under 'More' in your Global Nav)
  • Choose 'Overdue notice/status triggers'
  • 'Select a library' to define an overdue schedule for
  • TIP: If you would like to define one overdue schedule for ALL branches at once, select 'Default'. This will apply the schedule you define to all the branches in your system
  • For each patron type (left most column), enter a number under the columns labeled 'Delay'. The number you enter represents DAYS.
    • Each number you enter indicates the days after an issue is due before an action is triggered.
  • For each 'Delay' you choose a notice type (or 'letter') that will go to the borrower.
    • TIP: You will need to set up your library's notices to populate this pull down
      • Get there: More > Tools > Notices
  • When you are finished, click 'Save changes'

Help! I've gotten an error message!

If the numbers you've entered in a give row beneath the 'delay' columns are logically inconsistent, Koha will give you an alert, and explain the inconsistency.

What happens if I leave the row for an patron type blank? (ie, no 'delays' have been defined)

If you want Koha to trigger an action (send a letter or debar member), a delay value is required. No delays means no actions will be performed.

Where do I define overdue schedules? (ie, how many days pass before an item becomes 'overdue')

When an item becomes overdue (ie, duration of checkout) is defined in Koha's 'Administration' module:
  • Get there: More > Administration > Circulation Rules (under 'Patrons and Circulation')

Where do I define fines?

  • Get there: More > Administration > Fines Rules (under 'Patrons and Circulation')

What type of notice gets sent when a 'trigger' occurs in the 'Notice/Status Triggers' module? Email? Printed Notice?

Koha handles overdue notices in one of two automated ways: by email or by printed labels.

If a borrower has an email defined in their patron account, overdue notices automatically get sent to the patron's email account according to the schedule defined in the 'Notice/Status Triggers' Tool.

TIP: Patrons can alter their notification setting using the Messaging tool on their account.

Borrowers that have no email defined will have their notices sent via email to the library for printing.  The email is sent to the branch admin email, or failing that to the address set in the system preference as the 'KohaAdminEmailAddress'. This email is generated by the misc/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl cron job.  Contact your system administrator for help with this setting.

IMPORTANT: The email notice report that is compiled and sent to the admin (for borrowers with no email in Koha) rely on the 'delays' to determine when/how often that email gets sent as well.
