Koha upgrade to 21.11 is happening soon! ByWater will be upgrading our production sites Monday, August 1st at 11 PM. There will be no big changes this upgrade.
What’s New?
- Item Search will now be on Koha home page, under Advanced Search. This is useful for specific searching and getting specific lists.
- Patron from Logged in Library Display. This will show which home library the patron is associated with; this is more helpful for our libraries that have multiple branches.
- Main Contact Method -you can check with your patron to see which main contact method they want (i/e. Primary phone or secondary email). We can also add this preference to hold notices.
- You will be able to resolve Claims Returned upon check-in of the item.
- We will be able to send out Hold Reminder notices if the item on hold has not yet been picked up. We are going to initially set this at 4 days (holds expire after 7). Like most of our notices, these can be customized, so please send in a ticket after the upgrade with your preferred wording.
- You will be able to click on details of a particular transaction in Accounting, which makes things much clearer.
- Shows Transfer Library on Check-in Screen – will show which library it is being transferred to upon check-in.
We are not expecting any issues, but contact us at aspencathelp@clicweb.org if they arise.
