Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2019-02-09 08:00:08 UTC
Work to be done:
We would be adding a system preference for defining a limit on patron suggestions.

Hi Kyle, there is already MaxOpenSuggestions in Koha for limiting the number of open suggestions for a patron globally.

When I was in India people were really keen on realizing bug 9290 for a patron category setting.

Hello Kyle, I think we can work around bug 9290 as said by Katrin, we have sponsored it through crowdfunding to L2C2 for further development. I think this feature is very much needed globally.

As many libraries have various categories of users like children, adult, student, faculty etc. but they do not allow all to place purchase request. So bug 9290 will be helpful for libraries to activate their online purchase suggestions option for restricted patron category. 

Thanks
