When creating a new library, the generated branch is automatically allowing transfers from all the existing branches.

This can be cumbersome. If a staff member wants to add an isolated branch, it will be necessary to uncheck many boxes after the creation.


It could be useful to add a checkbox in the library creation form.
This checkbox would be checked by default, and the associated description would be something like :
"Allow transfers from all other libraries to this new library (this can be modified afterwards)"

Then, leaving the box checked would do nothing else/more than what Koha does now.
Unchecking the box would add lines in the branch_transfer_limits table to prevent transfer from all other branches to the new one.

Hmm. I think branch transfer limits is deactivated by default in new installations - how would this affect the checkbox?
Comment 2 Adrien SAURAT 2012-03-07 15:36:01 UTC
Ok, indeed we have to system preferences controlling this feature:
UseBranchTransferLimits (yes/no)
BranchTransferLimitsType (to select between ccode and item type)

As you suggested, it could be enough to display a message stating that UseBranchTransferLimits is ON/OFF.

Adrien doesn't work anymore at BibLibre.
Unassigning this bug to give it more visibility.
