Patron import

  • Get there: More > Tools > Patrons and circulation > Import patrons

ويمكن استخدام أداة استيراد المستفيد في أي وقت لإضافة مستفيدين بكميات كبيرة. وهي تستخدم عادة في الجامعات والمدارس عندما دفعة جديدة من الطلاب المسجلين.

Creating a patron import file

You can download a blank CSV file with a header from the start page of the patron import tool that you can use as a template for your patron import. The header contains all fields that can be used with the patron import tool. You can delete fields and columns you don't need with the exception of a few mandatory ones. When overlaying, if your new .csv includes blank columns, any existing values in patron records will be overwritten with blanks. It is best to remove any blank columns in a .csv to ensure no existing data is removed.

Important

cardnumber, surname, and all fields you have defined in the BorrowerMandatoryField preference are required and must match valid entries in your database.

Important

The 'password' should be stored in plaintext, and will be converted to a Bcrypt hash.

إذا كانت كلمة مرورك فعلاً مشفرة تحدث إلى مدير النظام لديك حول الخيارات المتاحة

Important

Date formats should match your system preference, and must be zero-padded, e.g. '01/02/2008'. Alternatively you can supply dates in ISO format (e.g. '2008-12-01').

Important

If your data contains special characters or diacritics, make sure your file is encoded in UTF-8. Otherwise, the special characters will not be imported correctly.

Note

If loading patron attributes, the 'patron_attributes' field should contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values.

  • إنَّ كود نوع السمة والنقطتان يجب أن تسبق كل قيمة.

    • على سبيل المثال: "INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs"

    • يجب إحاطة الحقل بأقواس إذا تم تعريف عدة قيم

    • Since values can contain spaces, additional doubled-quotes may be required:

      • "INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,""BASEBALL:White Sox""

Note

It's possible to set restrictions using the patron import tool. If the expiration date and comment match an existing restriction, the one in the import file will be skipped. So a patron import can be repeated multiple times without creating duplicate restrictions. But if one of the criteria is different, a new restriction will be added.

Importing patrons

Once you have created your file, you can use the patron import tool to bring the data into Koha.

  • Choose your CSV file

    image255

  • Choose to match on 'cardnumber' or 'username' to prevent adding of duplicate card numbers to the system. Additional matchpoints can be set up using patron attributes marked as unique.

    image256

  • اﻹختيار التالي تستطيع إختيار القيم اﻹفتراضية لتطبيقها على كل المستفيدين المستوردين

    • For example, if you're importing patrons specific to one branch you can use the field on the import form to apply the branch code to all those you are importing.

  • Finally, you need to decide on what data you want to replace if there are duplicates.

    • تم العثور على سجل مطابق للحقل الذي اخترته من أجل مطابقة معايير منع التكرار

    image257

    • When using patron attributes in your installation, you can choose how they are handled on import. You can either decide to always overlay all patron attributes or you choose to only replace patron attributes included in your import file. This will leave other attributes untouched.

    image1355

Notices & slips

  • Get there: More > Tools > Patrons and circulation > Notices & slips

All notices and circulation receipts (or slips) generated by Koha can be customized using the Notices & slips tool. The system comes with several predefined templates that will appear when you first visit this tool.

image258

Note

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 'Table settings' section of the Administration module (table id: lettert).

كل إشعار يمكن تحريره، ولكن بعضها فقط يمكن حذفه، وهذا لمنع الأخطاء في النظام بأن تحاول الرسالة أن ترسل بدون قالب.كل إشعار وقصاصة يمكن تحريرها حسب أساسيات المكتبة ، وبشكل افتراضي ستتمكن من رؤية الإشعارات لكل المكتبات.

If you have a style you'd like applied to all slips you can point the SlipCSS preference to a stylesheet. The same is true for notices, using the NoticeCSS preference to define a stylesheet.

You will also want to review the Customising notices and slips wiki page for more information on formatting these notices.

Adding notices and slips

لإضافة إخطار أو كعب جديد

  • Click 'New notice'

    image259

  • اختيار أي مكتبة تلاحظ أو تسحب هذا

  • اختيار وحدة ويرتبط هذا الإشعار إلى

  • يقتصر الرمز على 20 حرفا

  • استخدم اسم الحقل لتتوسع أكثر من الكود

    • Note

      With overdue notices, be sure to put your branch name in the description as well so that it will be visible when setting up your triggers.

  • Next you can customize the notice for every possible delivery method

    • يجب ضبط قالب بريد الكتروني لكل إخطار

      image1220

    • If you're using the TalkingTechItivaPhoneNotification service you can set up a Phone notification

      image1221

    • غذا كنت تخطط لطباعة هذا الإخطار يمكنك ضبط قالب الطباعة بعد ذلك

      image1222

    • If you have enabled SMS notices with the SMSSendDriver preference you can set the text for your SMS notices next

      image1223

  • Each notice offers you the same options

    • If you plan on writing the notice or slip in HTML check the 'HTML message' box, otherwise the content will be generated as plain text

    • Message subject is what will appear in the subject line of the email

    • في جسد الرسالة كن حراً بكتابة أي رسالة تشعر بأنها الأفضل ، استخدم الحقول على الجانب اليميني لتدخل بيانات فردية من قاعدة البيانات.

      • Note

        Review the Customising notices and slips wiki page for more information.

      • Important

        Overdue notices can use <<items.content>> tags by themselves, or use <item></item> to span all of the tags. Learn more about the Overdue notice markup

        • On overdue notices make sure to use <<items.content>> tags to print out the data related to all items that are overdue.

        • The other option, only for overdue notices, is to use the <item></item> tags to span the line so that it will print out multiple lines. One example for the <item></item> tag option is:

          <item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> , Checkout date: <<issues.issuedate>>, Due date: <<issues.date_due>> Fine: <<items.fine>> </item>

      • Important

        Only the overdue notices take advantage of the <item></item> tags, all other notices referencing items need to use <<items.content>>

      • Note

        To add today's date you can use the <<today>> syntax

      • Note

        If you don't want to print the patron's full name on your slips or notice you can enter data in the Other name or Initials field for each patron and use that value instead.

    • The system preference TranslateNotices will add tabs for each installed language to the notices editor. The notice defined in the 'Default' tab will be used if there is no preferred language set for a patron.

      image1335

Preview notice templates

For some notices it is possible to preview the notice template showing how it would look to a specified patron for a particular item or record.

If a notice template is previewable the notice template header will contain a field to enter preview data

image1342

Fill in the necessary information for the template then click the Preview button below the message body. The preview dialog will indicate if there are any problems generating the notice template preview.

Overdue notice markup

When creating your overdue notices there are two tags in addition to the various database fields that you can use in your notices. You will also want to review the Customising notices and slips wiki page for information on formatting item information in these notices.

Important

مهم هذه الوسوم الجديدة تعمل فقط على اشعارات التأخير، ليس اشعارات الإعارة الأخرى ذات الصلة في هذا الوقت.

These tags are <item> and </item> which should enclose all fields from the biblio, biblioitems, and items tables.

مثال على استخدام هذه الوسوم في قالب الاخطار قد يكون:

The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:

<item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <<items.fine>></item>

مما يفترض أن مادتين قد تأخرتا ، والنتائج ستكون داخل الإشعار كما يلي:

The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:

"A Short History of Western Civilization" by Harrison, John B, 909.09821 H2451, Barcode: 08030003 Fine: 3.50

    • Note

      A Postscript Point is 1/72", an Adobe Agate is 1/64", an Inch is 25.4 SI Millimeters

  • Next, note if this layout is for the front or the back of the patron card

    • Note

      You will need a layout for both the front and back of your card if you have 2-sided library cards, this option doesn't allow you to print two sided cards, just lets you track which side of the card you're designing.

  • You have the option of adding up to 3 lines of text to your card. Your text can be static text of your choosing and/or fields from the patron record. If you want to print fields from the patron record you want to put the field names in brackets like so - <firstname>

  • عن كل سطر من النص، ويمكنك اختيار الخط الخاص بك، وحجم الخط ومكان وجود النص على البطاقة باستخدام X و Y أدنى تنسق

  • In order to show the barcode and the patron card number you will need to check the 'Print card number as barcode' option. This will turn the patron card number into a barcode. If you want the number to print in human readable format you will need to check the 'Print card number as text under barcode' option.

  • وأخيرا يمكنك اختيار ما يصل الى اثنين من الصور للطباعة على البطاقة.

    • One can be the patron image which you can resize to meet your needs.

    • The other image can be something like a library logo or symbol that you uploaded using the 'manage images' module of the patron card creator Tool.

    Important

    It is the designers responsibility to define textlines, barcode and images such that overlap is avoided.

After saving, your layouts will appear on the 'Manage layouts' page.

القوالب

  • Get there: More > Tools > Patron card creator > Manage > Card templates

A template describes the arrangement of labels on the label sheet/card stock you are using. This might be Avery 5160 for address labels, Gaylord 47-284 for spine labels or Avery 28371 for your patron cards, just to give a couple of examples. All of the information you will need for setting up a template may be on the packaging, and if not it can usually be found on the vendor's website or can be measured from a sample sheet.

Add a template

To add a new template click on the 'New template' button at the top of your page which brings you to the Edit template form immediately. You may also choose to press 'Manage templates' on the left side. Here you are offered a list of available templates you can select for editing. But in the top of the page there is still the 'New template' button.

image264

Using the form that appears after pressing either 'Edit' or 'New template' you can define the template for your sheet of labels or cards.

image265

  • Template ID is simply a system generated unique id

  • Template code should be the name of this template to identify it on a list of templates

  • You can use the template description to add additional information about the template

  • الوحدات المنسدلة تستخدم لتحديد نطاق القياس الذي تتجه لاستخادمه لأشكالك.

    image266

    • Note

      A Postscript Point is 1/72", an Adobe Agate is 1/64", an Inch is 25.4 SI Millimeters

  • The measurements (page height, page width, card width, card height) may be on the packaging, and if not it can usually be found on the vendor's website or can be measured from a sample sheet.

    • After finding and documenting any anomalies in the printed document, then you can create a profile and assign it to the template.

    • Important

      Do not specify a profile unless needed, i.e. do not click to define a printer profile. It is not possible to remove a profile from a template but you can switch to another profile.

    • Note

      If you are using different printers you may be required to define several templates that are identical only different profiles are specified.

After saving, your templates will appear on the 'Manage templates' page.

image267

الملفات

  • Get there: More > Tools > Patron card creator > Manage > Profiles

A profile is a set of "adjustments" applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer. This means if you set a template up and then print a sample set of data and find that the items are not all aligned the same on each card, you need to set up a profile for each printer (or even different tray selections on the same printer) to make up for the differences in printing styles, such as the shifting of text to the left, right, top or bottom.

اذا كانت بطاقاتك تُطبع بالطريقة التي تريدها تماماً، لن تحتاج لملف تعريف.

Add a profile

To add a new profile, you want to click on the 'Profiles' button at the top of your page and choose 'New profile'

image268

To add a new profile, you want to click on the 'New profile' button at the top of your page. Using the form that appears you can define the values to correct the card misalignment on your label sheet. You may also choose 'Manage profiles' on the left side and select one of the currently available profiles for editing.

image269

  • The Printer name and Paper bin do not have to match your printer exactly, they are for your reference so you can remember what printer you have set the profile for.

    • Note

      For example: if you want to use the Printer model number in printer name you can, or you can call it 'the printer on my desk'

  • Template will be filled in once you have chosen which template to apply the profile to on the template edit form

  • الوحدات المندسلة تستخدم لتحديد مقياس القياس وأنت تذهب إلى استخدام ملف التعريف الخاص بك.

    image270

    • Note

      A Postscript Point is 1/72", an Adobe Agate is 1/64", an Inch is 25.4 SI Millimeters

  • Offset should be used when the entire image is off center either vertically or horizontally. Creep describes a condition where the distance between the labels changes across the page or up and down the page

    • For offset and creep values, negative numbers move the printed information up and to the left on the printed sheet and positive numbers move down and to the right

    • Example: the text is printed 0 .25" from the left edge of the first label, 0 .28" from the left edge of the second label and 0 .31" from the left edge of the third label. This means the horizontal creep should be set to (minus) -0.03 " to make up for this difference.

After saving, your profiles will appear on the 'Manage printer profiles' page.

  • Get there: More > Tools > Catalog > Inventory

Koha's inventory tool can be used in one of three ways:

  1. By creating a shelf list that you can then mark items off on;

  2. By uploading barcodes gathered by a portable scanner;

  3. By comparing barcodes gathered by a portable scanner or scanned directly to a generated shelf list.

Creating a shelf list

If you do not have the ability to use your barcode scanner on the floor of the library, the option available to you is to generate a shelf list based on criteria you enter. You can then print it to use while walking around the library checking your collection or use it directly in Koha on a portable device.

The inventory form, the sections Item location filters, Optional filters for inventory lists or comparing barcodes, and Additional options

First, choose the criteria for the items you want to print out on a list. All parameters are optional, but if none are selected, the resulting list might be quite large.

  • Library: choose the branch you want to check, as well as if that branch is the home library or the current holding library of the items.

  • Shelving location (items.location) is: you can filter by location.

  • Item callnumber between ... and ...: you can also limit the list to a specific range of callnumbers.

  • If filtering by callnumber, make sure to choose the correct classification scheme

You can filter even more with item statuses (not for loan status, lost status, withdrawn status or damaged status). Check the boxes next to the statuses you want to include. For example, if you are using the list to shelf read, check only the 'for loan' status as the other items probably won't be on the shelves.

  • Last inventory date: enter a date here to skip items that have been marked as seen recently.

  • Skip items on loan: check this box to filter out loaned items from the list.

  • Skip items on hold awaiting pickup: check this box to filter out items that are awaiting pickup by patrons

  • Item types: check the boxes next to the item types you want to include in your shelf list

  • Export to CSV file: check this box to generate a CSV file for altering in an application on your desktop. If this box is unchecked, the list will be presented on the screen.

Click on 'Submit' to generate your shelf list.

A table presenting the items corresponding to the filters

Once you have found the items on your shelves, return to this list and check the boxes next to the items you found. Next, click on one of the three buttons to continue:

  • Mark seen and quit: updates the 'last seen' date of the checked items to today and returns to the previous screen.

  • Mark seen and continue: updates the 'last seen' date of the checked items to today and shows the next page of the list.

  • Continue without marking: doesn't update any of the items on this page and shows the next page of the list.

Uploading barcodes with a scanner

If you have a portable scanner (or a laptop and USB scanner) you can walk through the library with the scanner in hand and scan barcodes as you come across them (on a laptop, scan the barcodes into a text file or directly into the on screen text box). Once finished you can then upload the text file generated by the scanner to Koha.

The inventory form, the sections Use a barcode file, Or scan items one by one, and Parameters

  • Set inventory date to: choose the date you want to mark all items as last seen.

  • Compare barcodes list to results: uncheck for this method.

  • Do not check in item scanned during inventory: unless this is checked, Koha will check in items scanned, as it is assumed that they are on the shelf and so not loaned out. If you do not want to check in scanned items, check this option.

  • Check barcodes list for items shelved out of order: if this option is checked, Koha will compare the call numbers and make sure they are in the correct order.

Click 'Submit'. This will update all the items' 'last seen' date to the chosen date.

Once you have the updated the last seen date for all items scanned during the inventory it is possible to use reports to identify items that were not scanned and can therefore be assumed missing (you can use the batch item modification tool to change the LOST status of these items). There are sample reports you can use on the Koha SQL Reports Library.

Comparing scanned barcodes to a shelf list

Alternatively, you can combine the two methods to automatically compare a list of scanned barcodes with a generated list.

First, upload you barcode file or scan the barcodes in the box.

  • Set inventory date to: choose the date you want to appear in the items' 'last seen' field.

  • Compare barcodes list to results: should automatically be checked.

  • Do not check in items scanned during inventory: make sure to check this option if you do not want the scanned items to be automatically checked-in if they are checked-out.

Choose the filters (library, shelving location, callnumbers, statuses or item types) to generate a list with which to compare your barcodes. Click on 'Submit'.

ملاحظة

Depending on the number of barcodes you are comparing, this may take a few minutes. It is not recommended to compare lists of more than 1000 barcodes as this may cause a session timeout.

Once Koha has finished comparing the barcodes file to the generated list, it will return the number of items updated and a list of problematic items.

ملاحظة

Unlike when creating a shelf list, the list that will be presented here will only contain the items that Koha has determined are problematic.

  • Missing (not scanned): the item is in the generated list but not in the barcodes file.

  • Found in wrong place: the item is in the barcodes list, but not in the generated list.

  • Still checked out: the item is checked out, but is in the generated list. It was not automatically checked in.

  • No barcode: the barcode doesn't exist.

  • Unknown not-for-loan status: the item has 'not for loan' status that is not in the NOT_LOAN authorized values list

  • Item may be shelved out of order: the callnumber is out of order

A profile is a set of "adjustments" applied to a given template just prior to printing which compensates for anomalies unique and peculiar to a given printer (to which the profile is assigned). This means if you set a template up and then print a sample set of data and find that the items are not all aligned the same on each label, you need to set up a profile for each printer to make up for the differences in printing styles, such as the shifting of text to the left, right, top or bottom.

Rotating collections

  • Get there: More > Tools > Catalog > Rotating collections

Rotating collections is a tool for managing collections of materials that frequently get shifted from library to library. It adds the ability to store not only an item's home library and current location but also information about where it is supposed to be transferred to next to ensure that all items in the collection are sent to the correct library. When an item in a rotating collection is checked in, library staff is notified that the item is part of a rotating collection and which branch it should be sent to if it is not at the correct one.

Important

The AutomaticItemReturn system preference must be set to "Don't automatically transfer items to their home library when they are returned" for rotating collections to function properly.

  • To create a new rotating collection, click the "New collection" button, fill in the title and description, and click "Submit". Once submitted you'll see "Collection name added successfully"; click "Return to rotating collections home" to return to the main Rotating collections management page (or click Rotating collections in the sidebar).

  • To add items to a collection, click "Actions" and choose "Add or remove items" next to the collection's name in the list of collections. Under "Add or remove items" scan or type in the barcode of the item you wish to add to the collection, and hit enter or click 'Submit' if necessary.

  • To remove an item from a collection, either click 'Remove' next to the item's barcode in the list of items within the collection or check the "Remove item from collection" box next to the Barcode text box under "Add or remove items", and scan or type in the barcode, clicking "Submit" or hitting Enter if necessary. Note: The "Remove item from collection" checkbox will remain checked as long as you are on the "Add or remove items" page, unless you uncheck it, to facilitate quickly removing a number of items at a time by scanning their barcodes.

Transfer a rotating collection

نقل مادة سوف:

  • قم بتغيير الموقع الحالي للمواد في تلك المجموعة إلى المكتبة التي سيتم نقلها إليها

  • بدء نقل من موقعه الأصلي الحالي / المكتبة المقتنية إلى الموقع الحالي/ المكتبة المقتنية ليتم نقله إليها. عند استلام مكتبة لمجموعة يجب عليها رد المواد كلها لاستكمال النقل.

يمكنك نقل المجموعة بإحدى طريقتين:

  • From the main Rotating collections page, click on "Actions" and choose "Transfer" next to the title of the collection you wish to transfer; choose the library you wish to transfer the collection to and click "Transfer collection".

  • Or, from the "add or remove items" page for a collection, you can click the "Transfer" button, choose the library you wish to transfer the collection to and click "Transfer Collection".

    Important

    من أجل استكمال عملية النقل، يجب على المكتبة المستقبلة للمجموعة المنقولة رد كل المواد من المجموعة كما استلمتها. سيقوم ذلك بمسح النقل لكي لا تظهر المواد بعد ذلك بأنها "في النقل"

إذا تم رد المادة المادة الموجودة في مجموعة منقولة في مكتبة أخرى غير المكتبة التي يفترض نقلها إليها، سيظهر إشعار لموظفي المكتبة بأن المادة جزء من مجموعة منقولة وكذلك إخبارهم بالمكان الذي يجب إرسالها إليه

Stock rotation

Stock rotation helps to spread resources more fairly among library branches and allows patrons to see a wider range of titles.

Items are popular whilst they are new at a particular branch. However, their use often tails off over time. This tool empowers librarians to automate the movement of items on to another branch before usage declines and thereby extends the items useful life.

Library staff create rotation plans and then assign them to items. A cronjob is then used to cycle these items round the specified libraries on the rotation plan, moving them to the next stage after the prescribed period of time has passed at the current stage.

Email notices may be used to provide the library branches with a list of items to be put in-transit to the next branch and if an item is found to be on loan at the time that it should be transferred then an alert will be displayed when it is next returned.

From the stock rotation tool page you can add new rotation plans and see a summary of your currently configured rotation plans. You can then edit plan details, activate and deactivate plans and manage stages and items on a given rotation plan.

image1381

Note

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 'Table settings' section of the Administration module (table id: stock_rotation).

This tool utilizes a cron job that must be configured to run on a daily basis.

Editing rota details

image1382

Name: A clear name or code to identify the rota

Cyclical: Denotes whether items remain (No) at the last library on the rotation plan upon reaching the end of the rota or whether they continue (Yes) to rotate, returning back to the first library on the rotation plan once they have completed their allotted time at the last library, indefinitely until manually removed from the rota.

Active: Denotes whether a rota is active and as such whether items on it are rotating. It also governs whether items may be added to and removed from the rota. A rota may be switched between active and inactive at any time allowing for rota maintenance.

Description: One may optionally add an expanded description of the rota for display in summary views.

Managing rota stages

image1383

Stages may be edited, added, removed and re-ordered at any time from this page.

Library: The library the item will be at during this stage

Duration: The amount of time the item should stage at this stage

Managing rota items - Tool view

image1384

Note

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the 'Table settings' section of the Administration module (table id: stock_rotation_manage_items).

Items can be added to a rota individually (by barcode) or in bulk (via the upload of a line delimited barcode file) on this page.

You will also be presented with a summary of all items on the rota with their current location and you have the options to immediately progress items, mark items as 'in demand' and remove an item from rotation.

In demand: If an item is marked as 'in demand' then the duration the item will stay at it's current stage will be doubled compared to what is set in the rota. This is often used for items that are found to be unexpectedly popular at a particular library.

Managing rota items - Catalog view

image1385

Rotating items may also be managed from the catalog view: When stock rotation is enabled a new menu tab 'Rota' will appear on a catalog records detail view.

All attached items will appear in the summary view with their current status in relation to rotas and the option to mark items as 'in demand' or immediately progress them. You can also remove items from rotation and add items to rotas here too.

Managing rota items - EDI

Items can be automatically added to rotas at acquisition time by using the LRP (Library Rotation Plan) field in EDI.

Managing rotation notices

Stock rotation can send email notices to branch libraries to aid in selecting the items due for rotation. Branch 'Reply-to' addresses will be used in preference to 'Email' addresses for the notice recipients.

The contents of the notices can be customized in the normal manor through the notices tool and the relevant notice has the code SR_SLIP.

Permissions

The stock rotation tool uses two distinct permissions:

manage_rotas:

this governs a users ability to create, update and delete a rota.

manage_rota_items:

this governs a users ability to add, remove and progress items on a rota.

قوالب تعديلات مارك

The MARC modification templates system gives Koha users the power to make alterations to MARC records automatically while staging MARC records for import or making batch record modifications.

هذه الأداة مفيدة لتعديل تسجيلات مارك من عدة مزودين/ مصادر تعمل مع إطار مارك الخاص بك. يتيح لك النظام إنشاء نص أساسي باستخدام الإجراءات لنسخ، نقل، إضافة ، تحديث وحذف الحقول.

List of currently available MARC modification templates

Click on 'New template' (a template can be made up of one or more actions), enter a name and click 'Submit'. Optionally, you can decide to copy an existing template by choosing the template to copy in the 'Duplicate a template' drop-down menu.

Form for creating a new template

Next you can add actions to the template. Click on 'New action'. A 'Add a new action' box will appear that you can use to specify what exactly you want to do. For example if you're loading in a batch of files from your EBook vendor you might want to add the biblio item type of EBOOK to the 942$c.

Add a new action box where the following values are chosen: Add new field(s) 942 c with value EBOOK Description: Add the biblio itemtype

  • Choose 'Add new'

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 942 والحقل الفرعي C

  • قم بإدخال القيمو 'EBOOK' (أو أياً كان رمز نوع كتابك الالكتروني)

  • يوفر وصفاً لتتمكن من تعريف هذا الإجراء لاحقاً

  • قم بالنقر على "إضافة إجراء"

    Note

    If you wish to update the values in an existing field choose the option ‘Update existing or add new’. This will update existing values where found and add a new field if one doesn’t exist.

يمكن أن يكون لكل قسم شرط اختياري للتحقق من قيمة أو وجود حقل آخر. على سبيل المثال، يمكنك إضافة رقم استدعاء إلى تسجيلة المادة إذا لم يكن موجود.

Add a new action form with the following options: Copy first field 090 a to field 952 o if field 952 o doesn't exist Description: Move call number to item record if there isn't one there already

  • اختر 'نسخ'

  • Decide if you want to copy the first occurrence or all occurrence of the field

  • Enter the field 090 (or other bibliographic call number field) and subfield a to copy

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 952 والحقل الفرعي o للنسخ إلىه

  • اختر 'لو'

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 952 والحقل الفرعي o

  • اختر "غير موجود"

  • يوفر وصفاً لتتمكن من تعريف هذا الإجراء لاحقاً

  • قم بالنقر على "إضافة إجراء"

The Copy & Move actions also support regular expressions, which can be used to automatically modify field values during the copy/move. An example would be to strip out the '$' character in field 020$c.

Add a new action form with the following options: Copy and replace every field 020 c to field 020 c RegEx s/\$// if field 020 c matches m/^\$// RegEx Description: Remove $ (dollar sign) from 020$c fields

  • Choose 'Copy and replace'

  • قرر إذا كنت تريد نسخة من الحدوث الأول أو كل أحداث الحقل

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 020 والحقل الفرعي C للنسخ

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 020 والحقل الفرعي c للنسخ إليه

  • Check the 'RegEx' box and enter your regular expression (in this case s/\$// )

  • اختر 'لو'

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 020 والحقل الفرعي c

  • اختر "يضاهي"

  • Check the 'RegEx' box and enter your regular expression (in this case m/^\$/ )

  • يوفر وصفاً لتتمكن من تعريف هذا الإجراء لاحقاً

  • قم بالنقر على "إضافة إجراء"

    Note

    The value for an update can include variables that change each time the template is used. Currently, the system supports two variables, __BRANCHCODE__ which is replaced with the branchcode of the library currently using the template, and __CURRENTDATE__ which is replaced with the current date in ISO format ( YYYY-MM-DD ).

You could also use regular expressions to add your library's proxy URL in front of links in your MARC record.

Add a new action form with the following options: Copy and replace all fields 856 u to field 856 u RegEx s/^/http://proxy=/ Description: Add proxy URL

  • Choose 'Copy and replace'

  • قرر إذا كنت تريد نسخة من الحدوث الأول أو كل أحداث الحقل

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 020 والحقل الفرعي C للنسخ

  • قم بإدخال الحقل 952 والحقل الفرعي o للنسخ إلىه

  • Check the 'RegEx' box and enter your regular expression (in this case s/^/PROXY_URL/ )

  • يوفر وصفاً لتتمكن من تعريف هذا الإجراء لاحقاً

  • قم بالنقر على "إضافة إجراء"

When choosing between 'Copy' and 'Copy and replace' keep the following example in mind:

245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aA_exists _bB_exists

If we apply action (a) Copy the whole field 245 to 300, we get:

245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aA_exists _bB_exists
300 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.

If we apply action (b) Copy the subfield 245$a to 300$a, we get:

245 _aThe art of computer programming _cDonald E. Knuth.
300 _aThe art of computer programming _bB_exists

بمجرد حفظ إجراءاتك يمكنك عرضها أعلى الشاشة. يمكن نقل الإجراءات باستخدام الأسهم الموجودة على يمينها.

List of all actions in a template

Actions will be done in the order they appear. Depending on your actions the order may be very important. For example you don't want to delete a field before you copy it to another field. You can use the blue arrows to move actions up or down the list.

  • The up arrow will move the action up one position

  • The up arrow with a line at the top will move the action to the first position

  • The down arrow with a line at the bottom will move the action to the last position

  • The down arrow will move the action down one position

Once your template is saved you will be able to pick it when using the Stage MARC records for import tool or when using the batch record modification tool.

        • When using the ISBN matching rule Koha will find only exact matches. If you find that the ISBN match is not working to your satisfaction you can change the AggressiveMatchOnISBN preference to 'Do' and then run your import again.

      • Action if matching record found: choose what to do with matching records if they are found

        • Replace existing record with incoming record: choose this if you are importing more complete records than the ones you currently have, or if you made some changes using an external tool (MarcEdit for example)

        • Add incoming record: this will keep the existing record and add the incoming record, so you may end up with duplicates

        • Ignore incoming record (its items may still be processed): choose this if you do not want to replace existing records

      • Action if no match is found: choose what to do with records that are unique

        • Add incoming record: choose this if you wish to import records that are not already in your catalog (new titles for example)

        • Ignore incoming record: choose this if you don't want to import records that are not already in your catalogue (for example, if you're only replacing existing records and don't want to add anything)

    • Check for embedded item record data?: choose whether or not to import the item data (field 952) found in the MARC records (if the file you're loading is a bibliographic file)

      • Always add items: always add items regardless of matching status

      • Add items only if matching bib was found: this will only add items to existing records in your catalog

      • Add items only if no matching bib was found: this will only add items to the new records you're importing, not the ones that already exist

      • Replace items if a matching bib was found: the match will look at the itemnumbers and barcodes to match on for items and will only replace existing items.

        ملاحظة

        Itemnumbers take precedence over barcodes

      • Ignore items: this will not add any items

Upload local cover image

  • Get there: More > Tools > Catalog > Upload local cover image

This tool allows you to upload cover images for the materials in your catalog.

To access this tool staff need the upload_local_cover_images permission.

For images to show in the staff client and OPAC you need to set LocalCoverImages and OPACLocalCoverImages preferences to 'Display'.

Images can be uploaded in batches or individually.

Notes

Koha does not have a maximum file size limit for this tool, but the web-server (such as Apache) may limit the maximum size of uploads (talk to your system administrator).

Where there are multiple images for a record they will display left to right (then top to bottom, depending on screen size) in the order they were uploaded. The image on the left (the first one uploaded) is used as a thumbnail cover in search results and on the details page. There is no way to reorder cover images uploaded in this way, so be sure to upload them in the order you'd like them to appear.

image1239

To upload a single image:

  • Go to the tool, click the 'Browse' button, and find the image on your local machine.

    image363

  • Click 'Upload file'.

  • Choose 'Image file' under the 'File type' section.

  • ادخل رقم التسجيلة للتسجيلة التي تود أن ترفق معها هذه الصورة. وهذا الرقم ليس الباركود ، بل رقم يتم توليده من النظام ويقوم كوها بتعيينه.

    • Find the biblionumber by looking at the end of the URL in the address bar when on the details page

      image364

    • or by clicking on the MARC tab on the details page in the staff client.

      image365

  • If you would like to replace any other cover images you may have uploaded in the past, check the 'Replace existing covers' box under the 'Options' section.

  • Click 'Process images'.

  • You are presented with a summary of the upload and a link to the record you have just added the image to.

To upload a batch of images:

  • Create a folder with the images to upload in it.

  • Create a text file (*.txt) named either datalink.txt or idlink.txt listing the biblionumber followed by the image name for each image, one per line.

    • For example: 4091,image4091.jpg

      image366

  • Create a ZIP file that includes all the images to upload and the text file.

  • Go to the tool, click the 'Browse' button, and browse to the ZIP file on your computer.

  • Click 'Upload file'.

  • اختر 'ملف مضغوط' تحت قسم 'نوع الملف'

  • If you would like to replace any other cover images you may have uploaded in the past, check the 'Replace existing covers' box under the 'Options' section.

  • اضغط 'صور معالجة'

  • You are presented with a summary of the upload.

    image367

    Important

    The source image is used to generate a 140 x 200 px thumbnail image and a 600 x 800 px full-size image. The original sized image uploaded is not kept by Koha.

In the staff client the cover images appear on the details page under the 'Images' tab in the holdings table at the bottom.

image368

In the OPAC the cover images appear in the 'Images' tab, as well as next to the title and on the search results.

To remove a cover image click 'Delete image' below the image in the staff client if you have the upload_local_cover_images permission.

CSV profiles

  • Get there: More > Tools > Additional tools > CSV profiles

CSV profiles are created to define how you would like your cart or list to export.

Add CSV profiles

To add a CSV profile

  • Click on 'New CSV profile'

    Add new CSV profile form

    • 'اسم الملف' سوف يظهر في التصدير من القائمة المندسلة عند اختيار 'تنزيل' من السلة أو القائمة

      View of the cart with the Download pull down menu open and "CSV - Record export" is selected

    • The 'Profile type' determines what type of fields you plan to use (MARC or SQL) to define your profile

      • If you choose MARC then you will need to enter MARC fields

        Add new CSV profile form filled with MARC information

      • If you choose SQL then you will need to enter SQL database fields

        Add new CSV profile form filled with SQL information

    • The 'Usage' field is used to indicate what type of report this CSV profile is used with

    • The 'Profile description' is for your own benefit, but will also appear in the OPAC when patrons download content, so make sure it's clear for your patrons as well

    • في 'الفاصل CSV' هو الحرف المستخدم لفصل القيم والمجموعات القيمة

      Note

      الخيار الأكثر شيوعاً هنا هو الفاصلة لأن معظم برامج جداول البيانات تعلم كيف تفتح الملفات المفصول بين بياناتها باستخدام الفاصلة.

    • 'فاصل الحقل' هو المحرف المستخدم لفصل حقول مكررة

      • مثال: قد تمتلك عدة حقول 650 وهذا هو المحرف الذي سيظهر بين كل حقل منهم في العامود

        CSV file opened in a spreadsheet software where we can see the pipes separating subject headings when there are more than one

    • 'فاصل الحقل الفرعي' هو المحرف المستخدم لفصل الحقول الفرعية المكررة

      • على سبيل المثال: قد يكون لديك عدة حقول فرعية $ في حقل

    • 'الترميز' حقل يتيح لك تحديد الترميز المستخدم عند حفظ الملف

    • The 'Only available on the staff interface' checkbox (only for MARC profile types) lets you limit this CSV profile to staff interface only, meaning patrons will not be able to use this profile to export their cart or lists from the OPAC

    • Finally format your CSV file using the 'Profile MARC fields' or 'Profile SQL fields' box

      • Define which fields or subfields you want to export, separated by pipes. Example : 200|210$a|301 for MARC or biblio.title|biblio.author for SQL

      • Note

        You can also use your own headers (instead of the ones from Koha) by prefixing the field number with a header, followed by the equal sign. Example: Personal name=100|title=245$a|300

When you have entered in all of the information for your profile, simply click 'Submit' and you will be presented with a confirmation that your profile has been saved.

Blue box with the confirmation message "CSV profile added successfully."

Cash management

Koha includes a number of options for dealing with monetary transactions and actions to allow for fine grained tracking of these processes for audit and analytic processes.

Cash registers

Cash registers can be used to track transactions to a specific location in your library. This can be especially helpful for detailing where cash has been taken for payments and then when this cash is subsequently removed and taken to the bank.

Setup

To enable the use of cash registers, you must turn on the UseCashRegisters system preference.

You can then configure cash registers for your library from the cash registers page in the administration module.

Cashup

The action of 'cashing up' can be recorded against a cash register from both the library details and register details pages.

Clicking the Record cashup button will simply record the date and time that the action has taken place and is intended to allow the regular record of when money is collected from the cash register and taken to the bank.

Both of the above pages utilize the cashup record to limit the display of transactions/summaries to only pertinent information, since the last cashup.

Once a cashup has taken place, a summary of the transactions taken during that cashup period is available for display, and printing, via the Summary link found next to the last cashup date on the register details page.

A cashup summary view modal

Cash summary for library

  • Get there: Home > Tools > Cash summary for library

A summary of transaction amounts associated to a libraries cash registers can be found under the 'Cash summary for library' page tool.

The summary will list registers associated with your logged in branch alongside information about how much money should be found in each register, what is available to take to the bank and a breakdown of income vs outgoings.

Note: You can also access this page from the left hand menu available on the Point of sale page when that module is enabled.

Transaction history for register

  • Get there: Home > Tools > Cash management > Transaction history for register

A list of all transactions to have taken place at a register is available by clicking on the cash register name from the library details page.

If you have the correct permissions, you can re-print receipts, issue refunds and record cashups from this page.

Note: You can also access this page from the left hand menu available on the Point of sale page when that module is enabled.
