Description Anni Rajala 2024-07-16 09:48:18 UTC
At the moment, the filtering on item results page requires using the code in the following fields:
- Collection
- Home library
- Current library
- Shelving location
- Itemtype
- item status -fields (not for loan etc)

So e.g. "Centerville" in Home library -field doesn't bring back results but code "CPL" does. However, the user might not have a clue what the codes are so instead of codes, it should be possible to use descriptions in the filters.

This issue has previously been mentioned in bugs https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37249 and https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=37238, but I couldn't find a bug that would particularly concern this problem.

Setting importance of this as "Normal" since it's significantly affecting the usability of item search table.
