Patron import
Get there: More > Tools > Patrons and circulation > Import patrons
Das Werkzeug für den Benutzerdatenimport kann jederzeit verwendet werden, um weitere Benutzer nachzuladen. Es wird häufig in Hochschulen und Schulen eingesetzt, wenn ein neuer Jahrgang von Studenten oder Schülern beginnt.
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.
Wichtig
cardnumber, surname, and all fields you have defined in the BorrowerMandatoryField preference are required and must match valid entries in your database.
Wichtig
The ‚password‘ should be stored in plaintext, and will be converted to a Bcrypt hash.
Sprechen Sie mit Ihrem Systemadministrator über mögliche Optionen, wenn Ihre Passwörter bereits verschlüsselt vorliegen
Wichtig
Date formats should match your dateformat 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‘).
Wichtig
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.
Hinweis
If loading patron attributes, the ‚patron_attributes‘ field should contain a comma-separated list of attribute types and values.
The attribute type code and a colon should precede each value.
Zum Beispiel: „INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs“
Anführungszeichen sind notwendig, wenn mehrere Werte definiert werden.
Since values can contain spaces, additional doubled-quotes may be required:
„INSTID:12345,BASEBALL:Cubs,““BASEBALL:White Sox““
Hinweis
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
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.
Next you can choose default values to apply to all patrons you are importing
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.
Vorhandene Datensätze werden anhand des Feldes, das zum Abgleich angegeben wurde, gefunden, um Dubletten zu vermeiden
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.
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.
Hinweis
You can customize the columns of this table in the ‚Table settings‘ section of the Administration module (table id: lettert).
Jede Benachrichtigung kann bearbeitet, aber nur einige wenige können endgültig gelöscht werden. Damit werden Fehler vermieden beim Versuch des Systems, eine Benachrichtigung ohne hinterlegtes Template zu generieren. Jede Benachrichtigung kann für jede Bibliothek bearbeitet werden. Standardmässig werden alle Benachrichtigungen für alle Bibliotheken angezeigt.
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
Eine neue Benachrichtigung oder Quittung erstellen
Click ‚New notice‘
Wählen Sie, für welche Bibliothek diese Benachrichtigung oder Quittung ist
Wichtig
Not all notices can be branch specific for more information review the Customising notices and slips wiki page.
Wählen Sie das Modul, zu dem diese Benachrichtigung gehört
The Code is limited to 20 characters
Use the name field to expand on your Code
Hinweis
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
Für jede Benachrichtigung sollte ein Text für Email konfiguriert werden
If you’re using the TalkingTechItivaPhoneNotification service you can set up a Phone notification
Wenn gedruckte Benachrichtigungen benötigt werden, können diese als nächstes konfiguriert werden
If you have enabled SMS notices with the SMSSendDriver preference you can set the text for your SMS notices next
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
In the message body feel free to type whatever message you feel is best, use the fields on the left hand side to enter individualized data from the from database.
Hinweis
Review the Customising notices and slips wiki page for more information.
Wichtig
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>
Wichtig
Only the overdue notices take advantage of the <item></item> tags, all other notices referencing items need to use <<items.content>>
Hinweis
To add today’s date you can use the <<today>> syntax
Hinweis
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.
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
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.
Wichtig
These new tags only work on the overdue notices, not other circulation related notices at this time.
These tags are <item> and </item> which should enclose all fields from the biblio, biblioitems, and items tables.
Ein Beispiel für die Verwendung dieser Tags in einer Benachrichtigung wäre:
The following item(s) is/are currently overdue:
<item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <<items.fine>></item>
Wenn zwei Exemplare überfällig sind, könnte die Mahnung so aussehen:
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
"History of Western Civilization" by Hayes, Carlton Joseph Huntley, 909.09821 H3261 v.1, Barcode: 08030004 Fine: 3.50

Overdue notice/status triggers
Get there: More > Tools > Patrons and circulation > Overdue notice/status triggers
In order to send the overdue notices that you defined using the Notices & slips tool, you need to first set the triggers to have these messages.
Wichtig
In order to have overdue notices sent to your patrons, you need to set that patron category to require overdue notices.
Wichtig
Depending on the value of your OverdueNoticeCalendar preference the delay may or may not include days the library is closed based on the holiday calendar.
The Overdue notice/status triggers tool gives the librarian the power to send up to three notices to each patron type notifying them of overdue items
Delay is the number of days after an issue is due before an action is triggered.
Wichtig
If you want Koha to trigger an action (send a letter or restrict member), a delay value is required.
Um weitere Benachrichtigungen zu verschicken, klicken Sie auf die Reiter ‚Zweite‘ und ‚Dritte‘ Benachrichtigung
If you would like to prevent a patron from checking items out because of their overdue items, check the ‚Restrict‘ box, this will put a notice on the patron’s record at checkout informing the librarian that the patron cannot check out due to overdue items.
If you choose to restrict a patron in this way you can also have Koha automatically remove that restriction with the AutoRemoveOverduesRestrictions preference.
Next you can choose the delivery method for the overdue notice. You can choose from Email, Phone (if you are using the i-tiva Talking Tech service), Print and SMS (if you have set your SMSSendDriver).
Patron card creator
Get there: More > Tools > Patron card creator

Customize patron card layouts with text retrieved from the Koha patron data
Design custom card templates for printed patron cards (to match the label sheets)
Build and manage batches of patron cards to print
Export (as PDF) single or multiple batches to print
Export (as PDF) single or multiple patron cards from within a batch
Layouts
Get there: More > Tools > Patron card creator > Manage > Layouts
Das Layout definiert den Text und die Bilder und an welcher Stelle sie auf dem Benutzerausweis gedruckt werden.

Up to three lines of text, the patron’s number in barcode representation and up to two images can be printed on to the card.
Add a layout
If you have no layouts defined, you will add a new layout by clicking the ‚New‘ button and choosing ‚Layout‘.
You may also choose to press ‚Manage layout‘ on the left side. Here you are offered a list of available layouts you can select for editing. But at the top of the page there is still the ‚New layout‘ button.
Der Name den Sie dem Layout geben dient Ihrer eigenen Orientierung. Benennen Sie es so, dass Sie es zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt einfach identifizieren können
The Units pull down is used to define what measurement scale you’re going to be using for your layout.
Hinweis
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
Hinweis
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>
Hinweis
A full list of field names can be found in the database schema at http://schema.koha-community.org
Für jede Zeile Text können Sie die Schriftart, Schriftgröße und Position auf der Karte durch die Angabe der X- und Y-Koordinaten angeben.
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.
Finally you can choose up to two images to print on the card.
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.
Wichtig
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.
Templates
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.
Using the form that appears after pressing either ‚Edit‘ or ‚New template‘ you can define the template for your sheet of labels or cards.
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
The Units pull down is used to define what measurement scale you’re going to be using for the template.
Hinweis
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.
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).
Before defining a profile try printing some sample cards so that you can take measurements to define a profile to perform the right adjustments for your printer/template combination.
After finding and documenting any anomalies in the printed document, then you can create a profile and assign it to the template.
Wichtig
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.
Hinweis
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.
Profile
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.
Wenn Ihre Ausweise bereits so gedruckt werden, wie Sie es möchten, benötigen Sie kein Profil.
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‘
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.
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.
Hinweis
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
Die Auswahlliste Maße wird verwendet um festzulegen welche Maßeinheit Sie für Ihr Profil verwenden.
Hinweis
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.
Nachdem Sie Ihr neues Profil gespeichert haben, können Sie zu der LIste der Templates zurückkehren und das Template für dieses Profil bearbeiten.

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.
Wichtig
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
Der Transfer einer Sammlung löst Folgendes aus:
Aktuellen Standort der Exemplare auf Zielbibliothek des Transfers setzen
Einen Transfer von der Standort- zur Zielbibliothek auslösen. Wenn eine Bibliothek eine Sammlung empfängt muss sie für alle Exemplare eine „Rückgabe“ ausführen um den Transfer abzuschliessen.
Es gibt zwei Methoden um Sammlungen zu transferieren:
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“.
Wichtig
Um den Transfer abzuschliessen, muss die Zielbibliothek beim Empfang der Sammlung für alle Exemplare eine „Rückgabe“ ausführen. Dies wird den Status „Unterwegs“ zurücksetzen.
Wenn ein Exemplar bei einer anderen Bibliothek als dem aktuellen Standort der Sammlung zurückgegeben wird, erscheint ein entsprechender Hinweis mit der Aufforderung, das Exemplar an die aktuelle Standortbibliothek der Sammlung zu senden.

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‘
Der ‚Profilname‘ wird in der Auswahlliste angezeigt, wenn Sie im Korb oder in einer Liste ‚Download‘ auswählen
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
If you choose SQL then you will need to enter SQL database fields
The ‚Usage‘ field is used to indicate what type of report this CSV profile is used with
‚Export records‘ (only available with MARC profile type): this is used to export records from your cart or lists
‚Late serial issues claims‘ (only available with SQL profile type): this is used to export late issues of serial subscriptions
‚Export late orders‘ (only available with SQL profile type): this is used to export late orders in the acquisitions module
- ‚Basket export in acquisition‘ (only available with SQL profile
type): this is used to download records from acquisitions baskets
- ‚Export lost items in report‘ (only available with SQL profile
type): this is used to export a CSV from the lost items report
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
Das ‚CSV-Trennzeichen‘ ist das Zeichen, das verwendet wird um Werte und Wertegruppen voneinander zu trennen
Hinweis
Die am häufigsten verwendete Option an dieser Stelle ist das Komma, da die meisten Tabellenverarbeitungsprogramme Dateien mit kommagetrennten Werten öffnen können.
The ‚Field separator‘ is the character used to separate duplicate fields
Beispiel: Wenn mehrere 650-Felder vorhanden sind, wird dieses Zeichen als Trennzeichen zwischen den einzelnen Feldern verwendet
The ‚Subfield separator‘ is the character used to separate duplicate subfields
Beispiel: Sie können mehrere Unterfelder $a in einem Feld haben
Unter ‚Zeichensatz‘ können Sie den für Ihre Datei verwendeten Zeichensatz auswählen
The ‚Only available on the staff interface‘ checkbox (only for MARC profile types) lets you limit this CSV profile to staff interface only, meaning patrons will not be able to use this profile to export their cart or lists from the OPAC
Finally format your CSV file using the ‚Profile MARC fields‘ or ‚Profile SQL fields‘ box
Define which fields or subfields you want to export, separated by pipes. Example : 200|210$a|301 for MARC or biblio.title|biblio.author for SQL
Hinweis
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.
Modify CSV profiles
Once you have created at least one CSV profile an ‚Edit profile‘ tab will appear next to the ‚New profile‘ button.

Pages
Get there: More > Tools > Additional tools > Pages
The pages tool is a tool to create custom additional pages in the OPAC and in the staff interface. It is based on the same tool as the news and the HTML customizations, therefore it works in the same way.
To add a new page:
Click ‚New entry‘
Display location: choose the interface from which this page should be accessed
Librarian and OPAC interfaces: two links will be created, one for the OPAC and one for the staff interface
Librarian interface: a link for the staff interface will be created
OPAC: a link for the OPAC will be created
Library: choose the library for which this page will be available
If an OPAC page is limited to a library, only logged in users whose home library matches the page library will be able to access the page.
Pages limited to a library will not be accessible to OPAC users who are not logged in, unless your system administrator has configured an ‚OPAC_BRANCH_DEFAULT‘ override in virtual host configuration.
If a staff interface page is limited to a library, only staff logged into that library will be able to access the page.
Publication date: use the publication date field to control from which date your page is accessible, if it should only be accessed at a future date.
Expiration date: use the expiration date field to remove the page after a specific date.
If this field is empty the page will be available until you remove it manually
You can enter the page title and content for each language installed
Bemerkung
You can choose which type of editor to use here (either a text editor or a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor) with the AdditionalContentsEditor system preference.
After filling in all of the fields, click ‚Save‘ at the top of the page.
Alternatively, click the arrow next to the ‚Save‘ button and choose ‚Save and continue editing‘ if you need to stay on this page to continue editing the news item.
In the table, a link will be generated for the OPAC or the staff interface or both. Use this link in HTML customizations, news or system preferences such as IntranetNav or IntranetmainUserBlock so that the patrons or staff members can access the new page.
Bemerkung
To link to a specific page, use the code in the URL with the
code=
parameter. For example:OPACBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42 STAFFCLIENTBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/tools/page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42
In multi-language installations, use the
language=
parameter followed by the language code to link to the page in a specific language. For example:OPACBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/opac-page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42&language=fr-CA STAFFCLIENTBASEURL/cgi-bin/koha/tools/page.pl?code=staff_and_opac_42&language=fr-CA
To use a custom page
Once the page has been developed and saved, you will see a summary table of all custom pages. This table also displays the generated links to access these custom pages. The links will be available in both the default language, and the installed language currently in use by the logged in staff member.
There is a button to preview the created page. This is helpful to check how the page looks and functions before it is deployed.
Now the page has been created, there are a number of ways to make the page accessible to your patrons in the Koha OPAC.
One option is to use an HTML customisation to add the link to the page to a section of the OPAC. The page can be added as a navigation link (in OpacNav, OpacNavBottom, or OpacNavRight). Depending on the page, it may be more suitable in the header (opacheader), footer (opaccredits), or main section of the homepage (OpacMainUserBlock).
HTML customizations are only displayed on the OPAC, so News items would be the appropriate tool to add the link to the main landing page of the staff interface.
The benefit of putting the page link in an HTML customization or News item is that you can use the WYSIWYG editor, instead of writing code. However, there is always the option to write the content in the HTML text editor too, if you prefer.
Those more proficient in writing code could use jQuery (Javascript) to insert their page link anywhere in the OPAC or staff interface.
Using jQuery, the pages could be added to either interface as simple text links, or as more advanced button links or image links. Add code to the OPACUserJS system preference to apply jQuery to the OPAC, or to the IntranetUserJS system preference to apply jQuery to the staff interface.
Clever ways to use custom pages:
There are many interesting ways to use custom pages in a Koha library. We’ve heard discussion of pages being used for tables of contents, frequently asked questions pages for the library, and enquiry forms.
Another way to make custom Koha page content accessible for users, would be to catalogue those pages so they pop in in Koha search results, for example library tutorials that patrons may be looking for.
Once the page has been created, it can be catalogued in the URI field of a record (856$u). Alternatively, it could be catalogued in the URI field of an item attached to a record (952$u). Both of these fields get converted into hyperlinks by Koha. If catalogued in a record or item, it would then be indexed and become searchable.
Once catalogued, these pages could be used in other ways that are typically reserved for books and other records. The records representing pages can be added to lists, or stored in virtual collections or locations that make them easier to find in the catalogue. They could even be captured and displayed in carousels!

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.
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.
