Offline Circulation

+ +

If the AllowOfflineCirculation preference is set to 'Enable' the library staff can continue to perform circulation actions within Koha when the system is offline. + +

Setup

+ +

Before the first time the system goes offline go to Circulation and choose 'Built-in offline circulation interface'

+ +

And synchronize your data on every circulation computer by clicking the 'Synchronize' link on the right of the screen.

+ +

This will allow you download a local copy of your patrons and circulation data. Click the 'Download records' link at the top of the page to synchronize your data.

+ +

Once your data is downloaded you will see the dates your data was last synced to the right of each data set.

+ +

This should be done regularly in preparation for any unexpected connection losses.

+ +

Circulating

+ +

When your system goes offline visit the Offline Circulation page in Koha and click 'Check out' or 'Check in' to perform offline actions.

+ +

Checking out is done by searching for the patron by barcode or name at the top of the 'Check out' screen. After selecting a patron you will be presented with the synced patron info, including fines and check outs.

+ +

Scan the barcode of the item you would like to check out and enter a due date. If you don't enter a due date Koha will prompt you for one.

+ +

Once the item is checked out it will appear below the patron's info.

+ +

Once the system is back online visit the Synchronize page on the Offline Circulation module and click 'Upload transactions'

+ +

Upload transactions

+ +

After the files are uploaded you can click 'View pending offline circulation actions' on the right to process the actions.

+ +

See the full documentation for Offline Circulation in the manual (online).
