Description Kelly McElligott 2019-07-12 18:12:24 UTC

Currently, if a library is using the Purchase Suggestion process and chooses not to use the AVAILABLE notice (as it sends out too early for some libraries) - the contents of this notice cannot be removed.  Koha will insist on something being in this notice.  Yes, the notice can be deleted. Generally if a library does not want a notice to go out, the contents can be removed- however, this is not possible with this notice, AVAILABLE.  Deleting notices is not a great idea either, as it may be something that needs to be added at a later date due to a new enhancement request.  This bug https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19535 . would be helpful to the functionality of this notice.

Hi Kelly,
can you give an example for a notice that can be emptied out and won't be send then? 

We have always only deleted them as Koha not finding the notice seemed the safer option. I thought it would send an empty one without content.

Also, I find you can't empty any notice in the GUI now - you have to always have to have at least one template with content (email or print or...).
