Description Eugene Espinoza 2014-05-22 03:26:53 UTC
In the Circulation module, a note or tag can be attach to circulation transactions, for statistics purposes and sort of tracking. In our library, some bosses ask their staffs to borrow books for them, and these bosses aren't even in the Patron's database of our Koha ILS. I'm thinking I can use the guardian option (parent-child) but these staffs and bosses are both adults, so it's actually awkward, and actually does not fit the bill. And also, in one of the Koha projects I am currently involved with, they wanted to know if a certain material borrowed for photocopying can be tag such, so this feature on notes/tags on circulation transactions came up again in my mind.

Can you make it an "organisation -> professional" type relationship?

This one was already addressed by Koha ILS feature of on-site check-out

However the note/s on a particular transaction still stand in this bug/feature enhancement request. Say, from a migrated circulation, there are circulation records that the librarian just received the csv file of circulation records and notes are written on the transactions to indicate say that the date can not be ascertained, who was the one responsible for lending the material and other notations that relates any claim from the borrower and the librarian.
