Description Ray Delahunty 2023-06-28 09:42:31 UTC

We will implement standard automatic renewals functionality when we move to 22.11 in July as bug fixes such as Bug 19014 make our various auto-renewals workarounds no longer essential. But as a multi-site Koha user we are dismayed that in testing we see email bombardment- with multiple AUTO_RENEWALS_DGST emails prepared for some users on the same day, one from each issuing library. In 21.11 we have a similar problem with overdues- where users may receive emails from multiple issuing libraries on the same day. Improvements will be made to overdues (in 23.11?) when Bug 32740 will add the patron home library option to the OverdueNoticeFrom system preference. We need a similar fix for the auto-renewal digest (with the grouping by patron home branch available) to make it list all items from all libraries to make the email a sort-of ‘double digest’.
