Description Catrina Berka 2024-08-16 18:39:41 UTC
If libraries are not planning to use the bookings feature, there's no way to hide this option. Even if staff don’t have the manage_bookings permission, they can still set an item as bookable, but the “place booking” button won’t appear for them.

It would be nice if the bookings feature could be set to enable/disable via a system preference, similar to EnablePointOfSale, EnableItemGroups, HouseboundModule, ERMModule, ILLModule, and PreservationModule.

It would be nice if this Disable/Enable option also applied to the Bookings tab in the patron account. I have received several requests from libraries to hide this tab since they aren't using the Bookings feature.

24.11 bug 33736 brought 'bookings to pull' into the circ module - it would be nice if this global on/off could turn it off as well.
