Update schedule

The update schedule is still a draft.

The pilot libraries are expected to test for 15-19 weeks (excluding the summer holidays). For other libraries we have preliminarily allocated 5 weeks for version upgrade: 3 weeks conversion and testing, 1 week for testing Finna view and moving to production, 1 week for transferring the test server resources to the next library. More accurate schedule estimate as a table

Not urgent – libraries will direct staff and other users.

Time that holds will wait for being checked out may be set different according to the patron group, library, or item type. (In Community Version only on sys pref level)


Not started

Is there need to be able to define different time according to the patron group, library, or item type?

Not needed?

Holds not checked out in time: defining different fees according to the patron category, branch (library), or item type (In Community Version on sys pref level only?) (Making holds may be free but you need to pay a "fine" if you don't come and claim the hold before it expires.)

Bug report made to Bugzilla https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25711

Koskenee myös asiakasryhmäkohtaiset asetukset? - MinnaK: Mitä tällä tarkoitetaan. Asiakastyyppien määrityksissä on hold fee, jolla tarkoitetaan varausmaksua joka peritään varauksesta joka tapauksessa. Tässä toiminnossa tarkoitetaan maksua, joka peritään, jos asiakas ei nouda varaustaan ajoissa.

and this discussion in english

There is a hold fee -setting in patron categories, but it is a different thing. Patron category hold fee is charged when making a hold or when hold is picked up depending on system preference HoldFeeMode.

In this case we are discussing about fee that is charged if a patron does not pick up hold in time.

How to test component part functionalities - instructions: Osakohdetoiminnallisuuksien testaaminen KV-versiossa

  • Is the Community Version solution, i.e. the structure of MARC field 773, suitable for the library's needs?
  • Will links in the current version work properly in the Community Version? In other words, will the records require conversion?
  • Are their tools for handling component parts missing in the staff interface? Is there a list of component parts in the host record (aka parent record) view?

Enable making holds on a bibliographic record when there are items available in the library but these items are not eligible for holds.  (Read the bug report for thorough explanation)

Bug report added to Bugzilla https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25699 Edition information to Holds to pull report

There is a holds to pull -list in the National Version.

In the Community Version, the list lacks critical pieces of data (like edition). Subtitle is showing on the list.

NOTE: Title information on Holds to Pull list is coming from Biblio-table. More information can be found here: Holds to pull -list


In progress/development

Anonymized hold identifiers (when patrons can go and pick up themselves their books on hold from a dedicated shelf, they find them by an identifier in the slip between the book. Name is not used for privacy reasons.)

On Koha-Suomi there is a systempreference AnonymizeOtherNames use for generating an anonymized code to Patron record Other names -field. The anonymized code is in the format xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (e.g. 1561-9855-2076) and is based on UNIX timestamp.

Other names -field is used for hold identifier.

This bug fix made to Koha-Suomi is needed. When a book is returned by self service station and there is a reservation, the pickup notice should not be send until the book is returned again by staff. There is a syspreff for this feature in Koha-Suomi RequireSCCheckInBeforeNotifyingPickups.To development
https://tiketti.koha-suomi.fi/issues/3559 / Kuljetustilassa olevan varatun niteen voi lainata automaatilla

When book is returned on self service station and there is a hold to another branch for that book, the item is put to transfer. When AllowItemsOnHoldCheckout -syspreff is set Allow, any borrower can check out the item with self service station despite of the hold. Item stays attached to hold and items stays in transfer -state. 

Bug fix needed: The system should not allow item check out on self service station when item is attached to hold and item is in transfer -state (item is in BranchTransfers -table and .

On current version there is action_logs_cache table containing all actions, such table does not exist in version 19.11. Action_logs -table contains only actions for 6 months.

This might have affects on our current way to calculate last years statistics using action logs.

Is it Koha-Suomi version feature that 6 months older action_logs events are moved to action_logs_cache? Should action_logs_cache table to be migrated to action_logs -table? If so, does it have some affects to performance?
