Description Christopher Brannon 2020-03-18 15:30:19 UTC
In hindsight of the Covid-19 outbreak, it would be good to have a way to turn off part or all of the transport cost matrix without having to rewrite the entire grid and track settings that have changed.

We ended up saving and disabling every cell so we could do holds without transfers while some of the libraries were closed and we had no courier.  With that said, I recommend:

* To have the ability to disable a cell, but not lose the value in the cell.
* Have a master switch that would disable all cells, but not lose the value in the cells.

Hi Christopher, have you tried to turn off the matrix by using the UseTransportCostMatrix system preference?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that would only stop the use that method of transfers (using the matrix).  It wouldn't stop transfers.  Keeping the matrix active, but disabling the cells stops transfers to specific or all branches.
