I suggest 'Compact many emails in one' That's quite a mouthful - it's a thin column that I don't want to make extra wide just to fit the label. Nicole (In reply to comment #0) > At every training I get asked what 'Digest' means in reference to notices. It's unfortunate, because digest is a very unambiguous term *if* you're familiar with mailing lists. If you're not, there's no analogue to compare to. > Or even a reason why we wouldn't want all enhanced > messages to be digests? I think this might be a more fruitful discussion than what to call digests.

Agreed! I just figured it might be easier to get a label change in to Koha than reworking the feature ;) Some of our libraries are using the 'single' mail option and not the digests. I am not sure killing a feature is the answer. Would something like 'summary mail' work? I just got a suggestion - why not have it so that when you mouse over 'digest' it explains what it is? In french, we have no exact translation for digest. For us it is the same world as "summary" or "abstract". So we translate it by "résumé" (summary), but it sounds a bit strange. M. Saby A suggestion I got today is 'consolidate' or 'consolidate emails' better suggestion: 'consolidate messages' or 'consolidate msgs' to save space 'consolidate msgs' might save space, but really confuse translators. I would have no idea how to translate that seeing it out of context. I'm not sure why people want the single messages. For predue and due notices, they are all generated at the same time in the day, so why not group them all together? I think that digest vs. non-digest makes sense when new messages may come in at different times of the day (like hold notices for instance). *** Bug 12387 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 37898 [details] [review] Bug 10174: Add a tooltip to explain what is a digest The digest term seems to be ambiguous for some people.

But I really like the idea and I think styling can still be improved later. Patch pushed to master. Thanks Jonathan! Pushed to 3.18.x will be in 3.18.7 |
