Perhaps pickup locations could be defined in circulation rules instead of branch parameters. But I am not very excited about touching the circulation rules at the moment, as it has been, and still is, going under some changes. After some testing, it seems that the current circulation rules user interface is not very flexible and can easily add unwanted rule overwrites. As an example, if you want to have a set of same rules for all libraries, you would use the "Standard rules for all libraries" view. Then, if you want to add an exception for a specific branch, you would select that branch and add the exception. However it doesn't just add only that exception, it also adds all the other rule columns for that branch into the database as well. This means that if you work via the user interface in staff client, you would have to duplicate all the rules just to add one exception. Swiftly browsing the Koha code, it seems that the backend supports individual exceptions, but the frontend doesn't. Bug 15522 is attempting to change the frontend of circulation rules. This need it solved with using patron categories library limitation. In my opinion this bug can be closed. |
