Description Katrin Fischer 2024-05-03 17:14:56 UTC
These are the system preferences in question:

BatchCheckouts : General ON/OFF switch.
BatchCheckoutsValidCategories : Patron categories allowed to checkout in a batch.

We should make clear in their description:

* that they apply to circulation in the staff interface
* that the patron categories are the ones you can batch checkout to as a staff user, not the patron categories allowed to perform batch checkouts

We could also consider REMOVING BatchCheckouts as "not having set any patron categories" also deactivates the feature effectively.

(adding Pedro so he sees that suggestion ;D )
