New features & Enhancements

About

Enhancements

Cataloging

New features

• 31791 Add the ability to lock records to prevent modification through the Koha staff interface
  

  This feature adds a way to lock records from being manually edited, if their defined source is marked as such.

• 36156 Don’t duplicate selected value when a field or subfield linked to an authorized value is repeated
  

  When a field or subfield is linked to a list of authorized values and repeated in the cataloging editor, the selected value was repeated in the copied field. This makes it so the copied field will be empty.

• 36370 Add ContentWarningField to UNIMARC XSLT
  

  This enhancement enables UNIMARC installations to pick a note field to use to store ‘Content warnings’ about bibliographic records, using the ContentWarningField system preference (added in Koha 23.05 by bug 31123, but only for MARC21 installations).To use this feature, add a tag and subfields to your bibliographic framework(s), and update the ContentWarningField system preference with the tag to use. A ‘Content warning:’ label will then be displayed in the OPAC and staff interface, on both the detail and results pages. If a $u subfield for a URL is added, the $a subfield will use this as to create a clickable link. Other subfields will be displayed after the $a subfield.

Circulation

New features

• 6796 Overnight checkouts taking into account opening and closing hours
  

  This feature adds the ability to set opening and closing hours for your library and for these hours to be considered when calculating due dates for hourly loans. If the due date for an hourly loan falls after the library closes, the library can choose for the due date to be shortened to meet the close time, or extended to meet the open time the next day. This feature adds a new table ‘branch_hours’ for storing the open and close times per day for each library, and a new system preference ‘ConsiderLibraryHoursWhenIssuing’ to choose which behaviour should be followed when calculating due dates.

• 29002 Add ability to book items ahead of time
  

  This lays the foundations for item bookings in Koha.

  An item can be made ‘bookable’ via the item modification screens; Once at least one item is bookable, a new “Place booking” button will appear as an option on the bibliographic record detail page and a “Bookings” tab will be available from the side menu to allow management of bookings.

  Bookings cannot overlap, and circulation will detect when an item has a booking on it and notify the librarian appropriately.

  Note: There are many further enhancements in the pipeline still to come.

Enhancements

• 16122 Item record needs to keep local use count
  

  This patch adds a new separate field for recording local use to the items table. It will be hidden from the holdings table by default but can be made visible using the table configuration settings.

  This includes a new CLI script to update the update_localuse_from_statistics.pl that can be used to set the new items.localuse field with information from the statistics table.

• 27595 Place holds for patrons on accepted purchase suggestions
  

  This patch adds a new system preference “PlaceHoldsOnOrdersFromSuggestions” that allows accepted suggestions to automatically be put on hold for the suggesting patron as soon as the suggested item is ordered.

  The default value is “Don’t” automatically place a hold when ordering from a suggestion.

• 27753 Automate resolution of return claim when checking in an item
  

  This patch adds two new system preferences, ‘AutoClaimReturnStatusOnCheckin’ and ‘AutoClaimReturnStatusOnCheckout’, to allow automatic resolution of return claims on checkin and/or on checkout of the item claimed as returned. Both system preferences allow choosing between “Found in library” or “Returned by patron” as reasons for the resolution. The default value for both preferences is empty, meaning automatic resolution on checkin/checkout is turned off by default.

Enhancements

• 22740 Automatically change lost status when item is paid for

  This is part of improvements to placing holds from the record page in the staff interface.It improves the structure of the page to make it clear that the different type of holds (“Hold next available item”, “Hold next available item from an item group” (when enabled), and “Hold a specific item”) are mutually-exclusive options, including:

  • Simplifying the hold details section at the start of the page
  • Putting the information and options for each type of hold in their own selectable section of the page

  Note: additional improvements to the design were made in bugs 36864 and 36899.

• 31981 Add classes to each NEEDSCONFIRM message for easier styling in circ/circulation.tt
  

  This patch adds a unique class to each “needs confirmation” message shown in circulation. Previously the only selector for any circulation message needing confirmation was #circ_needsconfirmation, so CSS or jQuery targeting only a single specific message was not easy to do.With this patch you can directly target the new unique class selector for the specific message found behind the class element .needsconfirm.

An example of the HTML output:

  <p id="marcnote-500-2" class="marcnote marcnote-500">...</p>

  Styles can be defined for notes and individual tags in the OPACUserCSS system preference – see the test plan for an example.

• 35812 Should specify canonical URLs to help search indexers

• 35856 Runtime parameter modal should provide option of “:all”
  

  This patch adds radio checkboxes to the runtime parameter modal menu used in creating SQL reports to allow the runtime parameter to use multiple values (“… in the following list of values”) or to allow choosing all values (“… in all the values”).
  Now when you use the modal menu for inserting a runtime parameter while creating an SQL report you can simply click on the radio button for “single parameter only”, “include option for all” or “allow multiple selections” after choosing the runtime parameter you want to add.

• 33134 Add some missing languages
• 35728 Add option to NOT redirect to result when search returns only one record
  

  This enhancement to catalog searching enables choosing what happens for a single search result (for both the OPAC and staff interface): redirect to the record details page (the current behavour), or show only one result.

  New system preference RedirectToSoleResult is used to manage this (enabled by default to match Koha’s current behaviour).

  Sponsored by Education Services Australia SCIS

• 36499 Add last checkout date column to the item search results
• 36545 Use select2 to improve multi-select in item search
  

  This patch modifies all multi-select fields in the item search to use the jQuery select2 framework. Previously selecting multiple values in the item search fields was unintuitive as you had to hold down Ctrl while clicking the next value. In libraries with a high amount of values (e.g. a library with hundreds of different branches or itemtypes), selecting multiple values from the long list was extra difficult and time consuming. Using select2 allows for fast selection of multiple values, better display of the selected values and even allows you to start typing the specific value you are looking for in order to find it much faster than previously possible.

Searching – Elasticsearch

New features

• 31652 Add geo-search
  

  This lays the groundwork for geographical searching using Elasticsearch 7+. This includes:

  • New search types for Elasticsearch search mappings to store latitude and longitude values and index them (using values from 034$s and 034$t).
  • Extending the QueryBuilder to allow for building advanced Elasticsearch queries (for example, geo_distance) that cannot be represented in a simple string query.

  To use this new feature now in the OPAC, install and enable the HKS3GeoSearch plugin (https://github.com/HKS3/HKS3GeoSearch).

• 35138 Enable configuration of facets with Elasticsearch
  

  This new feature enables facets for Elasticsearch (and Open Search) to be managed from the search engine configuration page. Prior to this, the facet fields were hard-coded in the codebase.

  You can add new facets when the search field options for ‘Facetable’ and ‘Searchable’ are set to “Yes”.

  Sponsored by The Research University in the Helmholtz Association (KIT)

Enhancements

• 20388 Ability to add search fields from UI
  

  This enhancement for Elasticsearch (and Open Search) lets you add search fields using the staff interface (Administration > Catalog > Search engine configuration (Elasticsearch)). Previously, you needed to edit a YAML file on the server to change the search fields.

• 34693 Add 035$a as Other-control-number index in authorities search indexes (MARC21, Elasticsearch)
  

  This patch adds 035$a in the default MARC21 Elasticsearch authority indexes.

  For existing installations, make sure you reindex with the option -r (reset mappings) to have this information in the index for existing records.

• 35345 Pass custom SQL to rebuild_elasticsearch.pl to determine which records to index
  

  This adds a --where parameter to the rebuild_elasticsearch.pl script that allows to flexibly select the records for reindexing with SQL. Examples would be the authority type or ranges and lists of biblionumbers and authids.

  Sponsored by HKS3 and Steiermärkische Landesbibliothek

• 36396 Link facet with authorised value category
  

  This new feature adds the ability to link an Elasticsearch facet to an authorized value category in order to display a description instead of the code.
  An example could be a code for the resource type (book, e-journal, database, etc.) if this code is in a local MARC 9xx field.
  This feature depends on Bug 35138 – configuration of facets with Elasticsearch.

  Sponsored by The Research University in the Helmholtz Association (KIT)

• 36574 Canceled/invalid ISBN not indexed for MARC21
  

  This adds a new search index isbn-all to the default Elasticsearch search mappings that includes the valid, canceled and invalid ISBNs.

• 36578 Elasticsearch: publisher-location (pl) index should include field 752 (for old prints) and also support UNIMARC
  

  This extends the Elasticsearch default search field mappings to include 752 (MARC21) and 210a, 214a (UNIMARC) in the index for place of publication.

• 36584 Add fields 520, 561, and 563 (MARC 21) to ES note search field

Searching – Zebra

Enhancements

• 35621 Map ÿ to y for searching (Non-ICU)

Self checkout

New features

• 32256 Self checkout batch mode
  

  This new feature allows more than one item to be scanned and processed at once in Koha’s self-checkout module. This feature uses the existing BatchCheckouts and BatchCheckoutsValidCategories system preferences to determine if batch checkouts should be allowed.

  NOTE: The items in the batch are handled one-by-one, so if any item in the batch requires confirmation (for example, to be renewed or returned) or is impossible to check out, the process will stop at that item. Any items earlier in the list will be processed, but any items coming after in the list will be ignored.

Serials

Enhancements

• 26567 Allow to limit subscription search to subscriptions with routing lists
  

  This adds a new search option ‘Has routing list’ to the advanced search in the serials module. It allows to limit the search to subscriptions with linked routing list.

• 32392 Ability to skip forward serial issues when receiving double (or more) issue
  

  This adds a new button to the serial collection page that allows to create a new issue while skipping several issues in between. The skipped issues will not be created. This can help when multiple issues need to be combined into one.

  Sponsored by Bibliotek Mellansjö, Sweden

• 35646 Allow using the publication date parts for serial numbering
  

  This adds some new placeholders to be used within the numbering pattern of a subscription: {Year}, {Day}, {DayName}, {Month}, {MonthName}. They will be automatically replaced with the corresponding value derived from the publication date of the issue when its received.

Staff interface

Enhancements

• 22567 Stock rotation manage rotas should show items current and desired locations
• 30623 Copy permissions from one user to another
  

  This enhancement makes it a lot easier to create staff users with similar or identical permission profiles by allowing it to copy the permission settings from one user to another.

• 33568 Use the REST API to display items on the biblio detail view
  

  This enhancement completely rewrites the display of the items table on the bibliographic record detail view.The filtering, ordering and pagination of this table are now done using the REST API endpoint which will fix performance issues for records with many items.

  The patron searches that formerly used a pop-up windows have been moved into a modal. Examples: patron search for routing lists, manager search for suggestions, guarantor search.

• 35389 Hide ‘Transfers to send’ on circulation home page when stock rotation is disabled
  

  Currently, Transfers to send (on circulation) is only relevant when you enable StockRotation. To lower confusion, we hide the option if you did not enable that sytem preference.

• 36735 Cannot revert the waiting status of a hold (24.05.00)
• 33237 If TranslateNotices is off, us the default language includes in slips (24.05.00)
  

  This patch set cleans up the way languages are chosen and used in includes when printing slips. Previously, if the system preference ‘TranslateNotices’ was turned off (meaning the patron had their language set to ‘Default’), the includes texts would be in English, even if the library had written their notices in a different language e.g. French.

  With this patch set, the language used for includes will always match the language used for creating the notice itself, regardless of whether ‘TranslateNotices’ is turned on or off.

  This patch set also makes important changes to the logic used to set the language. With this patch, the notice will:
  1. use patron’s preferred language
  2. if patron’s preferred language is ‘default’, use the first language in ‘language’ system preference.

  This patch set also adds the display of ‘Default language’ to the language that will be marked as ‘Default’ in the notices editor tool so that the librarian writing a notice will know exactly which language will be used when printing slips.

  Please note that due to these changes it is no longer possible to print the slip in any installed language simply by switching the staff interface language before printing! Bug 36733 has been added as a follow-up for restoring this functionality.

  This fixes patron searching where there are multiple patron attributes – all patron attributes are now searched. Before this, if your search included values from multiple patron attributes, no results would be found. Example: if you have two patron attributes with the value ‘abc’ in one and ‘123’ in another, searching for either one worked as expected, but no results would be found searching for ‘abc 123’.

• 34479 Clear saved patron search selections after certain actions (24.05.00,23.11.03,23.05.09)
  

  This fixes issues with patron search, and remembering the patrons selected after performing an action (such as Add to patron list, Merge selected patrons, Batch patron modification). Remembering selected patrons was introduced in Koha 22.11, bug 29971.Previously, the patrons selected after running an action were kept, and this either caused confusion, or could result in data loss if other actions were taken with new searches.Now, after performing a search and taking one of the actions available, you are now prompted with “Keep patrons selected for a new operation”. When you return to the patron search:

  • If the patrons are kept: those patrons should still be selected
  • If the patrons aren’t kept: the patron selection history is empty and no patrons are selected

• 35310 Current renewals ‘view’ link doesnt work if renewals correspond to an item no longer checked out (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.08)
  

  This fixes the current renewals information (shown under the statuses section) on the item page for records in the staff interface so that:
  1. The current renewals row is only now shown if there are current renewals for the item (previously it was shown for all items, even if they had no renewals).
  2. It only shows the number of current renewals for the current check out (previously the number shown would include all renewals, including for previous check-outs).

  • Adds a hint added to indicate that you need to select a start and end date (‘Select the booking start and end date’)
  • Removes the date shortcut options from the date picker, as they do not make sense for bookings

  This fixes an issue when the AutoSwitchPatron system preference is enabled (the issue was caused by bug 35518 – added to Koha 24.05.00, 23.11.03, and 23.05.09).

  If you went to check out an item to a patron, and then entered another patron’s card number in the item bar code, it was correctly:
  – switching to that patron
  – showing a message to say that the patron was switched.

  However, it was also incorrectly showing a “Barcode not found” message – this is now fixed, and is no longer displayed.

• 36392 Only 20 vendors in ERM dropdown (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This fixes the listing of vendors when adding a new agreement in the electronic resources (ERM) module. Previously only the first 20 vendors were displayed, now all vendors are displayed.

• 32565 Holds placed when all libraries are closed do not get added to holds queue if HoldsQueueSkipClosed and RealTimeHoldsQueue are enabled (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This patch set adds a new option “–unallocated” to the build_holds_queue.pl cronjob.This option prevents deletion of the existing queue, and looks for new unassigned holds that may be mapped to available items.There are two intended uses for the option, depending on whether the ‘RealTimeHoldsQueue’ (RTHQ) system preference is enabled or not.Without RTHQ libraries who want a more static holds queue during the day can run an hourly ‘unallocated’ cronjob. This will add new holds to the queue as they come in, but allow libraries longer to fill the holds in their existing queue before they move on. The recommendation would then be a nightly full run to rebuild the queue entirely.With RTHQ, libraries could run a nightly ‘unallocated’ cron to select holds for libraries that were not open on the previous day, and to select holds that have been unsuspended by another cronjob.Current setups will continue to function as before with no change, but libraries may wish to review their options after this upgrade.

• 34823 Do not show item group drop-down if there are no item groups (24.05.00)
• 35394 Correct the message displayed when attempting to checkout an item during it’s booking period (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This fixes the logic and message displayed if you try to check out an item where there is a booking. Now you cannot check out an item where there is a booking, and the message displayed is: “The item is booked for another patron”.

• 35559 Can’t change the pickup date of holds on the last day of expiration (24.05.00,23.11.06)
• 35573 Koha is not correctly warning of overridden items when placing a hold if AllowHoldPolicyOverride (24.05.00,23.11.06)

• 36797 Record with 1000+ holds and unique priorities causes a 500 error (24.05.00)
• 36864 Further improvements to holds request page (24.05.00)
  

  This is part of improvements to placing holds from the record page in the staff interface.It adds a tick icon with a green background to the section selected (either ‘Hold next available item’ or ‘Hold a specific item’).It prevents selecting drop down lists in the section not selected.

• 36899 Further improvements to holds request page, part 2 (24.05.00)
  

  This is part of improvements to placing holds from the record page in the staff interface. When selecting ‘Hold next available item’, ‘Hold next available item from an item group’ (when item groups enabled), or ‘Hold a specific item’ you can now select anywhere on that section of the page, instead of having to select the radio button beside each heading.

• 36111 Online resource link should be based on the presence of 856$u (MARC21)
  

  This fixes the display of 856 in the search results and detailed record, in the staff interface and OPAC. Currently, Koha displays “Click here to access online” if any 856 subfield is present, using the $u subfield as the link target, even if $u is empty. This patch makes the display of the online resource link depend on the presence of 856$u to prevent empty links.

• 30287 Notices using HTML render differently in notices.pl (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.08)
  

  This fixes notice previews for patrons in the staff interface (Patrons > [Patron account] > Notices), where HTML is used in the email notices. For example, previously ifs were used then the preview would match the email sent, however, usings would add extra lines in the preview.

• 32695 Search string for various 7xx linking fields is incorrectly formed (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This fixes the search links for the MARC21 linking fields 775, 780, 785, 787 to search for $a and $t in separate indexes instead of searching for both in the title index.

• 35410 856 label is inconsistent between detail page and search results in XSLTs (24.05.00,23.11.01,23.05.07)
  

  This updates the default staff interface and OPAC XSLT files so that “Online resources” is used as the label in search results for field 856 – Electronic Location and Access, instead of “Online access”. This matches the label used in the detail page for a record.It also adjusts the CSS class so OPAC and staff interface both use online_resources.

• 36659 Authorities search tab keeps defaulting to main heading ($a only) (24.05.00)Sponsored by Education Services Australia SCIS
• 32707 Elasticsearch should not auto truncate (even if QueryAutoTruncate = 1) for identifiers (and some other fields) (24.05.00,23.11.06)
• 33099 Add missing MARC21 match authority mappings so “Search all headings” search works (24.05.00)
• 33205 (Bug 28268 follow-up) Method call $row->authid inside quotes – produces meaningless warning (24.05.00,23.11.06)
• 35086 Koha::SearchEngine::Elasticsearch::Indexer->update_index needs to commit in batches (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.09)
  

  This enables breaking large Elasticsearch or Open Search indexing requests into smaller chunks (for example, when updating many records using batch modifications).

  This means that instead of sending a single background request for indexing, which could exceed the limits of the search server or take up too many resources, it limits index update requests to a more manageable size.

  The default chunk size is 5,000. To configure a different chunk size, add a directive to the elasticsearch section of the instance’s koha-conf.xml (for example: 2000).

  NOTE: This doesn’t change the command line indexing script, as this already allows passing a commit size defining how many records to send.

• 35265 Remove drag and drop in Elasticsearch mappings (24.05.00,23.11.02)
  

  This removes the ability to drag and drop the order of the bibliographic and authorities search fields (Administration > Catalog > Search engine configuration (Elasticsearch)). This was removed as the feature has no effect on the search results when using Elasticsearch or OpenSearch as the search engine.

• 35618 catalogue/showelastic.pl uses deprecated/removed parameter “type” (24.05.00,23.11.02)
  

  This fixes the display when clicking on “Show” for the “Elasticsearch record” entry for a record in the staff interface. Before this fix, a page not found (404) was displayed when viewing a record using Elasticsearch 7 or 8, or Open Search 1 ord 2. (Note that Elasticsearch 6 is no longer supported.)

• 36269 Elasticsearch: publisher-location (pl) index should include 260a/264a (MARC21) (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This enhancement adds 260$a and 264$a to the publisher-location (pl) Elasticsearch index for MARC21 records. Values in those two fields will be findable using the Publisher location option in the advanced search.

  Note: for existing installations, the index needs to be rebuilt using -r (reset mappings) in order for this information to be taken into account.

Before this, there was no indication that these fields were required and error trace messages were displayed if these were not completed – saving a new pattern or editing an existing pattern would also silently fail. NOTE: Making the description field optional will be fixed in bug 31297. Until this is done, a value needs to be entered into this field – even though it doesn’t indicate that it is required.

When using the show/hide column options, the correct columns and updating the show/hide selections were not correctly displayed, including when the page was refreshed (for example: selecting the Collection column hid the holds column instead, and the shown/hide option for Collection was not selected).

• 36150 Circulation home page styling does not match Cataloging home page styling (24.05.00,23.11.04)

• 36215 Bookings calendar only shows bookings within RESTdefaultPageSize (24.05.00,23.11.04)

• 35510 Non-patron guarantor missing from CollapseFieldsPatronAddForm options (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.09)

• 35351 Adjust basket details template to avoid showing empty page-section (24.05.00,23.11.04,23.05.10)

• 35378 ‘This authority type is used {count} times’ missing dot (24.05.00,23.11.01)
• 35397 SIP2AddOpacMessagesToScreenMessage syspref description issue (24.05.00,23.11.04)

• 35517 Choose correct default header search tab according to permissions (24.05.00,23.11.02)
  

  This fixes the display of the header search form on the staff interface home page so that staff patrons with different permissions will see the correct tab in the header search form. Previously, the default was to display the check out search – if they didn’t have circulation permissions, the search tabs were initially hidden.

• 35523 Fix doubled up quotes in cash register deletion confirmation message (24.05.00,23.11.02)
• 35524 Terminology: Bookseller in basket group CSV export (24.05.00,23.11.02)
• 35525 Spelling: SMS is an abbreviation (24.05.00,23.11.02)
• 35526 Terminology: Id, sushi and counter are abbreviations (24.05.00,23.11.02)
• 35528 Avoid ‘click’ for links in system preferences (24.05.00,23.11.02)

• 35650 ‘Check the logs’ string dot-inconsistent (24.05.00,23.11.02)
  

  This makes ‘Check the logs..’ messages more consistent across Koha, including the use of full stops. It also fixes up other related inconsistencies. These changes should make translations easier as well.

• 36567 Datetime warning in t/db_dependent/Circulation.t and t/db_dependent/Circulation/dateexpiry.t (24.05.00,23.11.06)Sponsored by Koha-Suomi Oy
• 36916 TestBuilder generates incorrect JS and CSS for libraries (24.05.00)

• 36923 Holds/LocalHoldsPriority.t generates warnings (24.05.00)
• 36924 t/db_dependent/Search.t generates warnings (24.05.00)
• 36939 Serials.t generates a warning (24.05.00)
• 34621 Patron import option to ‘Renew existing patrons’ ‘from the current membership expiry date’ not implemented (24.05.00,23.11.06)
  

  This fixes the option when importing patrons so that the expiry date is updated for existing patrons (Tools > Patrons > Import patrons > Preserve existing values > Overwrite the existing one with this > Renew existing patrons – from the current membership expiry date).

• 35438 Importing records can create too large transactions (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.09)
• 35579 marcrecord2csv searches authorised values inefficiently (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.08)
  

  This significantly improves the speed of downloading large lists in CSV format. (It adds a get_descriptions_by_marc_field” method which caches AuthorisedValue descriptions when searched by MARC field, which is used when exporting MARC to CSV.)

• 35588 marcrecord2csv retrieves authorised values incorrectly for fields (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.08)
  

  This fixes the CSV export of records so that authorized values are exported correctly. It ensures that the authorized value descriptions looked up are for the correct field/subfield designated in the CSV profile. Example: If the 942$s (Serial record flag) for a record has a value of “1”, it was previously exported as “Yes” even though it wasn’t an authorized value.

• 35641 Reduce DB calls when performing inventory on a list of barcodes (24.05.00,23.11.02,23.05.09)
