Not every library will want to use this feature - I think it would be nicer if we didn't show the tab when there are no claims, so this is a bit more 'invisible'. It also matches how we handle other tabs.
Bug 37578 saw the Charges tab removed so tabs can be made to go away. I hoped that hiding the claims_returned column in the issues_table in Table Settings would cause the Claims tab to vanish by alas, not the case. This tab is clutter for us. BTW, why is this one 'BLOCKED'?
(In reply to Ray Delahunty from comment #1) > tab is clutter for us. BTW, why is this one 'BLOCKED'? Because it depends on a bug, 26258, which is still ASSIGNED. I still intend to get that one rebased and into testing again but I haven't found the time. If someone wanted to take this bug on I would be fine with removing the dependency.
