3 Global system preferences
4 =========================
6 .. _global-system-preferences-label:
8 Global system preferences control the way your Koha system works in
9 general. Set these preferences before anything else in Koha.
11 - *Get there:* More > Administration > Global System Preferences
15 System preferences can be searched (using any part of the preference
16 name or description) using the search box on the 'Administration' page
17 or the search box at the top of each system preferences page.
21 When editing preferences a ^(modified)^ tag will appear next to items
22 you change until you click the 'Save All' button:
26 After saving your preferences you'll get a confirmation message telling
27 you what preferences were saved:
31 Each section of preferences can be sorted alphabetically by clicking the
32 small down arrow to the right of the word 'Preference' in the header
37 If the preference refers to monetary values (like
38 :ref:`maxoutstanding`) the currency displayed will be the
39 default you set in your :ref:`Currencies and Exchange Rates`
40 administration area. In the examples to
41 follow they will all read USD for U.S. Dollars.
45 For libraries systems with unique URLs for each site the system
46 preference can be overridden by editing your koha-http.conf file
47 this has to be done by a system administrator or someone with access
48 to your system files. For example if all libraries but one want to
49 have search terms highlighted in results you set the
50 OpacHighlightedWords preference to 'Highlight' then edit the
51 koha-http.conf for the library that wants this turned off by adding
52 'SetEnv OVERRIDE\_SYSPREF\_OpacHighlightedWords "0"^. After
53 restarting the web server that one library will no longer see
54 highlighted terms. Consult with your system administrator for more

65 .. _acquisitions-policy-label:
68 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
70 .. _acqcreateitem-label:
73 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
75 Default: placing an order
77 Asks: Create an item when \_\_\_.
89 - This preference lets you decide when you'd like to create an item
90 record in Koha. If you choose to add an item record when 'placing an
91 order' then you will enter item information in as you place records
92 in your basket. If you choose to add the item when 'receiving an
93 order' you will be asked for item record information when you're
94 receiving orders in acquisitions. If you choose to add the item when
95 'cataloging a record' then item records will not be created in
96 acquisitions at all, you will need to go to the cataloging module to
99 .. _acqenablefiles-label:
102 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
106 Asks: \_\_\_ enable the ability to upload and attach arbitrary files to
117 - This preference controls whether or not you allow the uploading of
118 invoice files via the acquisitions module.
120 .. _acqitemsetsubfieldswhenreceiptiscancelled-label:
122 AcqItemSetSubfieldsWhenReceiptIsCancelled
123 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
125 Asks: Upon cancelling a receipt, update the item's subfields if they
126 were created when placing an order (e.g. o=5\|a="bar foo""). \_\_\_
130 - This preference is used in conjunction with the
131 :ref:`AcqItemSetSubfieldsWhenReceived`
132 preference. If you have the system set to enter default values when
133 you receive you will want to have those values revert back if reeipt
134 is cancelled. This preference allows you to do that.
136 `AcqItemSetSubfieldsWhenReceived`
137 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
139 Asks: Upon receiving items, update their subfields if they were created
140 when placing an order (e.g. o=5\|a="foo bar"). \_\_\_
144 - This preference allows you to set default values for items that you
145 receive via acquisitions. Enter the data as subfield=value and split
146 your values with a bar ( \| ). For example you can remove the Ordered
147 status on the item automatically when you receive it just by entering
148 7=0 in this preference. That will set the Not for Loan status
149 (subfield 7) to 0 which is available.
151 .. _acqviewbaskets-label:
154 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
156 Default: created by staff member
158 Asks: Show baskets \_\_\_
162 - created by staff member
164 - from staff member's branch
166 - in system, regardless of owner
170 - When in acquisitions this preference allows you to control whose
171 baskets you can see when looking at a vendor. The default value of
172 'created by staff member' makes it so that you only see the baskets
173 you created. Choosing to see baskets 'from staff member's branch'
174 will show you the baskets created by anyone at the branch you're
175 logged in at. Finally, you can choose to set this preference to show
176 you all baskets regardless of who created it ('in system, regardless
177 of owner). Regardless of which value you choose for this preference,
178 superlibrarians can see all baskets created in the system.

224 Asks: \_\_\_ blind copy (BCC) to logged in user when sending serial or
225 acquisitions claims notices.
235 - When filing a claim in the :ref:`Claim Late Serials` or
236 Acquisitions module this preference will allow for
237 the sending of a copy of the email to the librarian.
239 .. _currencyformat-label:

244 Default: 360,000.00 (US)
246 Asks: Display currencies using the following format \_\_\_
261 Asks: The default tax rate is \_\_\_
265 - This preference will allow the library to define a default Goods and
266 Services Tax rate. The default of value of 0 will disable this
271 Enter this value as a number (.06) versus a percent (6%).
273 .. _marcfieldstoorder-label:
276 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
278 Asks: Set the mapping values for a new order line created from a MARC
279 record in a staged file.
283 - This preference includes MARC fields to check for order information
284 to use when you are trying to :ref:`Order from a staged file` in
285 acquisitions. You can use the following fields: price, quantity,
286 budget\_code, discount, sort1, sort2.
296 .. _marcitemfieldstoorder-label:
298 MarcItemFieldsToOrder
299 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
301 Asks: Set the mapping values for new item records created from a MARC record
306 - This preference automatically generates items in Koha with populated
307 information based on a 9XX field and subfield. You can use the following
308 fields: homebranch, holdingbranch, itype, nonpublic_note, public_note, loc,
309 ccode, notforloan, uri, copyno, price, replacementprice and itemcallnumber.
310 Special fields: quantity and budget_code
321 .. _uniqueitemfields-label:
324 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
328 Asks:\_\_\_ (space-separated list of fields that should be unique for
329 items, must be valid SQL fields of
330 `items <http://schema.koha-community.org/tables/items.html>`__ table)
334 - If this preference is left blank when adding items in acquisitions
335 there will be no check for uniqueness. This means that a duplicate
336 barcode can be created in acquisitions which will cause errors later
337 when checking items in and out.
342 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
344 .. _orderpdfformat-label:
347 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
349 Default: pdfformat::layout2pages

546 - lots of - will show as much information as possible
548 - no - will only show basic error messages
550 - some - will show only some of the information available
554 - This preference determines how much information will be sent to the
555 user's screen when the system encounters an error. The most detail
556 will be sent when the value level is set at 2, some detail will be
557 sent when the value is set at 1, and only a basic error message will
558 display when the value is set at 0. This setting is especially
559 important when a system is new and the administration is interested
560 in working out the bugs (errors or problems) quickly. Having detailed
561 error messages makes quick fixes more likely in problem areas.
563 .. _defaulttologgedinlibrarycircrules-label:
565 DefaultToLoggedInLibraryCircRules
566 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
568 Default: all libraries
570 Asks: When editing circulation rules show \_\_\_ the rules by default.
576 - logged in library's
580 - This preference controls the default value in the branch pull down
581 found at the top of the :ref:`Circulation and Fine
584 .. _defaulttologgedinlibrarynoticesslips-label:
586 DefaultToLoggedInLibraryNoticesSlips
587 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
589 Default: all libraries
591 Asks: When editing notices and slips show the \_\_\_ notices and slips
598 - logged in library's

653 separate data. In many cases you will be able to change this option
654 when exporting if you'd like.
656 .. _kohaadminemailaddress-label:
658 KohaAdminEmailAddress
659 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
661 This is the default 'From' address for emails unless there is one for
662 the particular branch, and is referred to when an internal error occurs.
664 Asks: Use \_\_\_ as the email address for the administrator of Koha.
668 - This preference allows one email address to be used in warning
669 messages set to the OPAC. If no email address is set for the branch
670 this address will receive messages from patrons regarding
671 modification requests, purchase suggestions, and questions or
672 information regarding overdue notices. It is recommended that a email
673 address that can be accessed by multiple staff members be used for
674 this purpose so that if one librarian is out the others can address
675 these requests. This email address can be changed when needed.
677 .. _noitemtypeimages-label:
680 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
684 Asks: \_\_\_ itemtype icons in the catalog.
694 - This preference allows the system administrator to determine if users
695 will be able to set and see an item type icon
696 the catalog on both the OPAC and the Staff Client. The images will
697 display in both the OPAC and the Staff Client/Intranet. If images of
698 item types are disabled, text labels for item types will still appear
699 in the OPAC and Staff Client.
701 .. _replytodefault-label:
704 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
706 Asks: Use \_\_\_ as the email address that will be set as the replyto in
711 - By default replies to notice emails will go to the `library email
712 address <#libraries-groups>`__, if you would like to specify a default
713 email address for all replies to notices you can do that here.
715 .. _returnpathdefault-label:
718 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
720 Asks: Use \_\_\_ as the email address set as the return path, if you
721 leave this empty the KohaAdminEmailAddress will be used.
725 - The return path is the email address that bounces will be delivered
726 to. By default bounced notices will go to the `library email
727 address <#libraries-groups>`__, if you would like to specify a default
728 email address for bounces to go to then fill in this preference.
730 .. _virtualshelves-label:
733 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
737 Asks: \_\_\_ staff and patrons to create and view saved lists of books.
747 - This preference controls whether the lists functionality will be
748 available in the staff client and OPAC. If this is set to "Don't
749 allow" then no one will be able to save items to public or private
752 .. _login-options-label:
755 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
757 These preferences are related to logging into your Koha system
759 .. _autolocation-label:
762 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
764 Default: Don't require
766 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to log in from a computer in the IP address range
767 specified by their library (if any).
769 - Set IP address range in the library administration area
771 - *Get there:* More > Administration > Basic Parameters > :ref:`Libraries & Groups`
781 - This preference protects the system by blocking unauthorized users
782 from accessing the staff client program and settings. Authorized and
783 unauthorized users are determined by their computer's IP addresses.
784 When the preference is set to 'Require', IP authorization is in
785 effect and unauthorized IP addresses will be blocked. This means that
786 staff cannot work from home unless their IP address has been
787 authorized. When set to 'Don't require', anyone with a staff client
788 login will have access no matter which IP address they are using.
790 .. _independentbranches-label:
793 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
795 Default: Don't prevent
797 Asks: \_\_\_ staff (but not superlibrarians) from modifying objects
798 (holds, items, patrons, etc.) belonging to other libraries.
808 - This preference should only be used by library systems which are
809 sharing a single Koha installation among multiple branches but are
810 considered independent organizations, meaning they do not share
811 material or patrons with other branches and do not plan to change
812 that in the future. If set to 'Prevent' it increases the security
813 between library branches by: prohibiting staff users from logging
814 into another branch from within the staff client, filtering out
815 patrons from patron searches who are not a part of the login branch
816 conducting the search, limiting the location choices to the login
817 branch when adding or modifying an item record, preventing users from
818 other branch locations from placing holds or checking out materials
819 from library branches other than their own, and preventing staff from
820 editing item records which belong to other library branches. All of
821 these security safeguards can be overridden only by the
822 superlibrarian, the highest level of privileges.
826 It is important that this value be set before going live and that it
829 .. _independentbranchespatronmodifications-label:
831 IndependentBranchesPatronModifications
832 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
836 Asks: Prevent staff (but not superlibrarians) from viewing and
837 approving/denying patron modification requests for patrons
838 belonging to other libraries. \_\_\_
846 .. _sessionrestrictionbyip-label:
848 SessionRestrictionByIP
849 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
853 Asks: \_\_\_ check for change in remote IP address for session security.
854 Disable only when remote IP address changes frequently.
864 - When this preference is set to 'Enable' Koha will log you out of the
865 staff client if your IP address changes as a security measure. For
866 some systems the IP address changes frequently so you'll want to set
867 this preference to 'Disable' to prevent Koha from logging you out of
868 the staff client every time that happens.
872 This is meant to help those whose IP address changes several times
873 during the day, setting this preference to 'Disable' is not
874 recommended otherwise because it is removing important security
875 features from your staff client.
877 .. _sessionstorage-label:
880 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
882 Default: in the MySQL database
884 Asks: Store login session information \_\_\_
890 - in the MySQL database
892 - in the PostgreSQL database
896 PostgreSQL is not yet supported
900 - This preference allows administrators to choose what format session
901 data is stored in during web sessions.
906 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
910 Asks: Automatically log out users after \_\_\_ seconds of inactivity.
914 - This preference sets the length of time the Staff Client or OPAC
915 accounts can be left inactive before re-logging in is necessary. The
916 value of this preference is in seconds. At this time, the amount of
917 time before a session times out must be the same for both the Staff

1174 tag, ind1:(auth1|auth2|some_value), ind2:(auth1|auth2|thesaurus|some_value).
1175 Here auth1 and auth2 refer to the indicators of the authority record, tag is a
1176 biblio field number or an asterisk (*), and some_value is a fixed value
1177 (one character). The MARC21 option thesaurus refers to indicators controlled by
1178 authority field 008/11 and 040$f.
1182 - Used when merging authorities.
1184 - Controls how the indicators of linked authority records affect the
1185 corresponding biblio indicators. Currently, the default valueis fine-tuned
1186 for MARC21 and copies the authority indicators for UNIMARC.
1188 - For example,a MARC21 field 100 in a biblio record should pick its first
1189 indicator from the linked authority record. The second indicator is not
1190 controlled by the authority. This report supports such MARC conventions.
1192 .. _authoritymergelimit-label:
1195 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1199 Asks: When modifying an authority record, do not update attached biblio
1200 records if the number exceeds \_\_\_ records. (Above this limit, the merge_authority
1201 cron job will merge them.)
1203 .. _authoritymergemode-label:
1206 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1210 Asks: When updating biblio records from an attached authority record ("merging"),
1211 handle subfields of relevant biblio record fields in \_\_\_ mode. In strict mode
1212 subfields that are not found in the authority record, are deleted. Loose mode
1213 will keep them. Loose mode is the historical behavior and still the default.
1221 .. _autocreateauthorities-label:
1223 AutoCreateAuthorities
1224 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1226 Default: do not generate
1228 Asks: When editing records, \_\_\_ authority records that are missing.
1238 `BiblioAddsAuthorities <#biblioaddsauthorities>`__ must be set to
1239 "allow" for this to have any effect
1243 - When this and `BiblioAddsAuthorities <#biblioaddsauthorities>`__ are
1244 both turned on, automatically create authority records for headings
1245 that don't have any authority link when cataloging. When
1246 BiblioAddsAuthorities is on and AutoCreateAuthorities is turned off,
1247 do not automatically generate authority records, but allow the user
1248 to enter headings that don't match an existing authority. When
1249 BiblioAddsAuthorities is off, this has no effect.
1251 .. _biblioaddsauthorities-label:
1253 BiblioAddsAuthorities
1254 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1258 Asks: When editing records, \_\_\_ them to automatically create new
1259 authority records if needed, rather than having to reference existing
1266 - This setting allows you to type values in the fields controlled by
1267 authorities and then adds a new authority if one does not exist
1271 - This setting will lock the authority controlled fields, forcing
1272 you to search for an authority versus allowing you to type the
1273 information in yourself.

1277 MARCAuthorityControlField008
1278 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1280 Default: \|\| aca\|\|aabn \| a\|a d
1282 Asks: Use the following text for the contents of MARC21 authority
1283 control field 008 position 06-39 (fixed length data elements).
1287 Do not include the date (position 00-05) in this preference, Koha
1288 will calculate automatically and put that in before the values in
1293 - This preference controls the default value in the 008 field on
1294 Authority records. It does not effect bibliographic records.

1298 UNIMARCAuthorityField100
1299 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1301 Default: afrey50 ba0

1304 100 position (fixed length data elements).
1308 Do not include the date (position 00-07) in this preference, Koha
1309 will calculate automatically and put that in before the values in
1314 - This preference controls the default value in the 100 field on
1315 Authority records cataloged in UNIMARC. It does not effect
1316 bibliographic records.
1318 .. _useauthoritiesfortracings-label:
1320 UseAuthoritiesForTracings
1321 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1325 Asks: \_\_\_ authority record numbers instead of text strings for
1326 searches from subject tracings.
1332 - Search links look for subject/author keywords (example:
1333 opac-search.pl?q=su:Business%20networks)
1337 - Search links look for an authority record (example:
1338 opac-search.pl?q=an:354)
1342 - For libraries that have authority files, they may want to make it so
1343 that when a link to an authorized subject or author is clicked on the
1344 OPAC or staff client it takes the searcher only to a list of results
1345 with that authority record. Most libraries do not have complete
1346 authority files and so setting this preference to 'Don't use' will
1347 allow searchers to click on links to authors and subject headings and
1348 perform a keyword search against those fields, finding all possible
1349 relevant results instead.
1354 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1356 These preferences will control how Koha links bibliographic records to
1357 authority records. All bibliographic records added to Koha after these
1358 preferences are set will link automatically to authority records, for
1359 records added before these preferences are set there is a script
1360 (misc/link\_bibs\_to\_authorities.pl) that your system administrator can
1361 run to link records together.
1363 .. _catalogmodulerelink-label:
1366 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1370 Asks: \_\_\_ automatically relink headings that have previously been
1371 linked when saving records in the cataloging module.
1381 - Longtime users of Koha don't expect the authority and bib records to
1382 link consistently. This preference makes it possible to disable
1383 authority relinking in the cataloging module only (i.e. relinking is
1384 still possible if link\_bibs\_to\_authorities.pl is run). Note that
1385 though the default behavior matches the previous behavior of Koha
1386 (retaining links to outdated authority records), it does not match
1387 the intended behavior (updating biblio/authority link after
1388 bibliographic record is edited). Libraries that want the intended
1389 behavior of authority control rather than the way Koha used to handle
1390 linking should set CatalogModuleRelink to 'Do'. Once setting this to
1391 'Do' the following preferences can also be set.
1393 .. _linkerkeepstale-label:
1396 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1400 Asks: \_\_\_ keep existing links to authority records for headings where
1401 the linker is unable to find a match.
1411 - When set to 'Do', the linker will never remove a link to an authority
1412 record, though, depending on the value of
1413 :ref:`LinkerRelink`, it may change the link.
1415 .. _linkermodule-label:
1418 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1422 Asks: Use the \_\_\_ linker module for matching headings to authority
1429 - Retains Koha's previous behavior of only creating links when there
1430 is an exact match to one and only one authority record; if the
1431 :ref:`LinkerOptions` preference is set to
1432 'broader\_headings', it will try to link headings to authority
1433 records for broader headings by removing subfields from the end of
1438 - Creates a link to the first authority record that matches a given
1439 heading, even if there is more than one authority record that
1444 - Creates a link to the last authority record that matches a given
1445 heading, even if there is more than one record that matches
1449 - This preference tells Koha which match to use when searching for
1450 authority matches when saving a record.
1452 .. _linkeroptions-label:
1455 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1457 Asks: Set the following options for the authority linker \_\_\_
1461 This feature is experimental and shouldn't be used in a production
1462 environment until further expanded upon.
1466 - This is a pipe separated (\|) list of options. At the moment, the
1467 only option available is "broader\_headings." With this option set to
1468 "broader\_headings", the linker will try to match the following
1473 =600 10$aCamins-Esakov, Jared$xCoin collections$vCatalogs$vEarly works to 1800.
1475 First: Camins-Esakov, Jared--Coin collections--Catalogs--Early works
1478 Next: Camins-Esakov, Jared--Coin collections--Catalogs
1480 Next: Camins-Esakov, Jared--Coin collections
1482 Next: Camins-Esakov, Jared (matches! if a previous attempt had
1483 matched, it would not have tried this)
1485 .. _linkerrelink-label:
1488 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1492 Asks: \_\_\_ relink headings that have previously been linked to
1503 - When set to 'Do', the linker will confirm the links for headings that
1504 have previously been linked to an authority record when it runs,
1505 correcting any incorrect links it may find. When set to 'Do not', any
1506 heading with an existing link will be ignored, even if the existing
1507 link is invalid or incorrect.

1529 Asks: \_\_\_ acquisition details on the biblio detail page.
1539 - This preference controls whether a tab will show on the detail page
1540 in the staff client that includes detailed acquisitions information
1541 for the title. This tab will include links to order information
1542 stored in the acquisitions module.

1590 - See :ref:`ISBD` preference for more information
1592 - Labelled MARC form -- displays records in the staff client in MARC
1593 with text labels to explain the different fields
1595 - MARC form -- displays records in the staff client in MARC
1597 - normal form -- visual display in the staff client (for the average
1602 - This setting determines the bibliographic record display when
1603 searching the catalog on the staff client. This setting does not
1604 affect the display in the OPAC which is changed using the
1605 :ref:`BiblioDefaultView` preference under the OPAC
1606 preference tab. This setting changes the look of the record when
1607 first displayed. The MARC and ISBD views can still be seen by
1608 clicking in the sidebar.
1613 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1615 Default: See :ref:`ISBD view configuration
1616 <https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ISBD_view_configuration>` on the wiki.
1618 Asks: Use the following as the ISBD template:
1622 - This determines how the ISBD information will display in the staff
1623 client. Elements in the list can be reordered to produce a different
1624 ISBD view. ISBD, the International Standard Bibliographic
1625 Description, was first introduced by IFLA (International Federation
1626 of Library Associations) in 1969 in order to provide guidelines for
1627 descriptive cataloging. The purpose of ISBD is to aid the
1628 international exchange of bibliographic records for a variety of
1631 .. _labelmarcview-label:
1634 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1638 Asks: \_\_\_ collapse repeated tags of the same type into one tag entry.
1642 - Do -- will combine all identical tag numbers under one heading in the
1643 MARC view in the OPAC and Staff Client
1647 - Don't -- will list all of the tags individually in the MARC view in
1648 the OPAC and Staff Client
1652 .. _marcfielddocurl-label:
1655 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1659 Asks: Use \_\_\_ as the URL for MARC field documentation. Possible substitutions are {MARC} (marc flavour, eg. "MARC21" or "UNIMARC"), {FIELD} (field number, eg. "000" or "048"), {LANG} (user language, eg. "en" or "fi-FI"). If left empty, the format documentation on http://loc.gov (MARC21) or http://archive.ifla.org (UNIMARC) is used. For example http://fielddoc.example.com/?marc={MARC}&field={FIELD}&language={LANG}
1663 - This preference lets you choose the source of the MARC documentation available through the "?" next to MARC fields.
1665 .. _mergereportfields-label:
1668 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1670 Asks: \_\_\_ fields to display for deleted records after merge
1674 - When merging records together you can receive a report of the merge
1675 process once it's done, this preference lets you set the default
1676 values for this report.
1678 Example: '001,245ab,600' displays:
1682 - subfields a and b of fields 245
1684 - all subfields of fields 600
1686 .. _notesblacklist-label:
1689 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1691 Asks: Don't show these \_\_\_ note fields in title notes separator (OPAC
1692 record details) and in the description separator (Staff client record
1697 - This preference lets you define which of your note fields are hidden
1698 from the title notes (OPAC) and descriptions (Staff) tabs. Enter the
1699 values as a comma separated list. For example to hide the local note
1700 and the bibliography note in MARC21 enter 504, 590.

1705 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1707 OpacSuppression Default: Don't hide
1709 Asks: \_\_\_ items marked as suppressed from OPAC search results.
1710 Restrict the suppression to IP addressesoutside of the IP range \_\_\_
1711 (Leave blank if not used. Define a range like 192.168..) Redirect the opac detail
1712 page for suppressed records to \_\_\_ Display the following message on
1713 the redirect page for suppressed biblios \_\_\_.
1715 OpacSuppression Values:
1719 - Will show records in OPAC search results if they are marked
1724 - Will not show records in OPAC search results if they're marked as
1727 OpacSuppressionRedirect Values:
1729 - an explanatory page ('This record is blocked').
1731 - the 404 error page ('Not found').
1735 - These preferences control hiding of bibliographic records from
1736 display in the OPAC. Each bibliographic record you want to hide from
1737 the OPAC simply needs to have the value "1" in the field mapped with
1738 Suppress index (942$n field in MARC21, no official field in UNIMARC).
1739 The indexer then hides it from display in OPAC but will still display
1740 it in the Staff Client. If you want to further control suppression
1741 you can set an IP address range to still show suppressed items to.
1742 Define a range like 192.168.. If you don't want to limit suppression
1743 in this way, leave the IP field blank. You can also decide what the
1744 patrons will see in the OPAC when a title is suppressed by setting
1745 the OpacSuppressionRedirect and OpacSuppressionMessage preferences.
1746 You can either show the patron a 404 page if they try to see a
1747 suppressed record or you can create a custom page by entering the
1748 HTML in the OpacSuppressionMessage part of this preference.
1752 An :ref:`authorized value <authorized-values-label>` for the MARC21 942$n
1753 field (or the equivalent UNIMARC field) should be set to
1754 eliminate errors. One example would be to create an authorized
1755 value titled SUPPRESS with a value of 0 for don't suppress and 1
1760 If this preference is set to 'hide' and you have the 942n field set
1761 to 1, it will hide the entire bib record - not just an individual
1766 Suppressed records will show a note in the staff client indicating
1767 that they are suppressed from view in the OPAC.

1823 will say 'Click here to access online.^ If you would like the field
1824 to say something else enter that in this field.
1826 .. _usecontrolnumber-label:
1829 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1833 Asks: \_\_\_ record control number ($w subfields) and control number
1834 (001) for linking of bibliographic records.
1840 - When clicking on links to titles that appear next to 'Continues'
1841 and 'Continued by' in the detail display Koha will perform a title
1846 - When clicking on links to titles that appear next to 'Continues'
1847 and 'Continued by' in the detail display Koha will perform a
1848 control number (MARC field 001) search
1852 Unless you are going in and manually changing 773$w to match your
1853 rigorously-defined bibliographic relationships, you should set this
1854 preference to "Don't use" and instead set
1855 :ref:`EasyAnalyticalRecords` to "Display"
1859 - If you have a serial called "Journal of Interesting Things" which has
1860 a separate record from when it was called "Transactions of the
1861 Interesting Stuff Society," you could add linking fields to indicate
1862 the relationship between the two records. UseControlNumber allows you
1863 to use your local accession numbers for those links. In MARC21, the
1864 relevant sections of the two records might look like this:
1869 =110 2_$aInteresting Stuff Society.
1870 =245 10$aTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.
1871 =785 00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tJournal of Interesting Things.$w12346

1875 =245 10$aJournal of Interesting Things.
1876 =780 00$aInteresting Stuff Society$tTransactions of the Interesting Stuff Society.$w12345
1878 With UseControlNumber set to 'Use', the 78x links will use the
1879 Control Numbers is subfield $w, instead of doing a title search on
1880 "Journal of Interesting Things" and "Transactions of the Interesting

1958 used when staging records for import to be more aggressive. This
1959 means that all text will be stripped from the ISBN field so that a
1960 pure number match is possible. If this preference is set to "Don't"

2061 - An analytic entry in a catalog is one that describes a part of a
2062 larger work that is also described in the catalog. In bibliographic
2063 cataloging, analytic entries may be made for chapters in books or
2064 special issues of articles in periodicals. In archival cataloging,
2065 analytic entries may be made for series or items within a collection.
2066 This feature in Koha allows for an easy way of linking analytic

2081 Asks: Display MARC subfield \_\_\_ as holdings information for records
2082 that do not have items, with the subfields separated by \_\_\_.
2086 - Sometimes libraries migrate to Koha with their holding info in the
2087 852 field (OCLC holdings information field) and choose not to
2088 transfer that information into the 952 (Koha holdings information
2089 field) because they don't plan on circulating those items. For those

2118 - generated in the form 1, 2, 3
2120 - incremental EAN-13 barcodes
2122 - not generated automatically
2126 - This setting is for libraries wishing to generate barcodes from
2127 within Koha (as opposed to scanning in pre-printed barcodes or
2128 manually assigning them). The default behavior makes it so that when
2129 you click in the barcode field (952$p in MARC21) it will populate
2130 with the automatic barcode you have chosen. If you would rather it
2131 only enter an automatic barcode when you click on the plugin (the ...
2132 to the right of the field) you can change the plugin used for that
2133 field in the framework. Set the plugin for 952$p (if using MARC21 or
2134 equivalent field mapped to items.barcode in your local MARC format)
2135 for your frameworks to barcode\_manual.pl instead of barcode.pl.

2193 (for determining circulation and fines rules, etc).
2203 - This preference determines whether the item type Koha uses for
2204 issuing rules will be an attribute of the bibliographic record or the
2205 item record. Most libraries refer to the item record for item types.
2206 It also determines if the item type icon appears on the OPAC search
2207 results. If you have the preference set to 'biblio record' then Koha

2229 - This setting determines which MARC field will be used to determine
2230 the call number that will be entered into item records automatically
2231 (952$o). The value is set by providing the MARC field code (050, 082,
2232 090, 852 are all common in MARC21) and the subfield codes without the
2233 delimiters ($a, $b would be ab).

2724 - If this preference is set to "Do" and the :ref:`fines cron
2725 job <fines-label>` is off then Koha will calculate fines only
2726 when items are returned. If you have the fines cron job on and this
2727 preference set to "Do" then this preference will calculate fines
2728 based on the cron (usually run nightly) and then again when you check
2729 the item in. This option is best for those who are doing hourly
2730 loans. If this preference is set to "Don't" then fines will only be
2731 accrued if the fines cron job is running.
2735 If you are doing hourly loans then you should have this set to 'Do'.

2771 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2773 Asks: Restrict patrons with the following target audience values from
2774 checking out inappropriate materials: \_\_\_
2778 - This preference defines certain keywords that will trigger Koha to
2779 restrict checkout based on age. These restrictions can be overridden
2780 by the :ref:`AgeRestrictionOverride`
2781 preference. Enter in this field a series of keywords separated by bar
2782 (\|) with no spaces. For example PG\|R\|E\|EC\|Age\| will look for PG
2783 followed by an age number, R folllowed by an age number, Age followed
2784 by an age number, and so on. These values can appear in any MARC
2785 field, but Library of Congress recommends the 521$a (Target Audience
2786 Note). Whatever field you decide to use you must map the word
2787 agerestriction in the biblioitems table to that field in the :ref:`Koha to
2788 MARC Mapping <koha-to-marc-mapping-label>`. When cataloging you can enter
2789 values like PG 13 or E 10 in the 521$a and Koha will then notify
2790 circulation librarians that the material may not be recommended for
2791 the patron based on their age.
2795 You must map the word agerestriction in the biblioitems table to
2796 the MARC field where this information will appear via the :ref:`Koha

2802 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2804 Default: Don't allow
2806 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to check out an item with age restriction.
2820 - When the :ref:`AgeRestrictionMarker` preference
2821 is set, Koha will try to warn circulation librarians before checking
2822 out an item that might have an age restriction listed in the MARC
2823 record. This preference asks if you would like the staff to be able
2824 to still check out these items to patrons under the age limit.
2826 .. _allfinesneedoverride-label:
2828 AllFinesNeedOverride
2829 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2833 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to manually override all fines, even fines less than
2834 :ref:`noissuescharge`.
2844 - This preference let's you decide if you want to always be warned that
2845 the patron has fines when checking out. If you have it set to
2846 'Require' then no matter how much money the patron owes a message
2847 will pop up warning you that the patron owes money.
2849 .. _allowfineoverride-label:

2854 Default: Don't allow
2856 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to manually override and check out items to patrons
2857 who have more than :ref:`noissuescharge` in fines.
2867 - This preference lets you decide if you staff can check out to patrons
2868 who owe more money than you usually let them carry on their account.
2869 If set to 'Allow' staff will be warned that the patrons owes money,
2870 but it won't stop the staff from checking out to the patron.

2874 AllowItemsOnHoldCheckout
2875 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2877 Default: Don't allow
2879 Asks: \_\_\_ checkouts of items reserved to someone else. If allowed do
2880 not generate RESERVE\_WAITING and RESERVED warning. This allows self
2881 checkouts for those items.
2891 This system preference relates only to SIP based self checkout, not
2892 Koha's web based self checkout.
2896 - When this preference is set to 'Allow' patrons will be able to use
2897 your external self check machine to check out a book to themselves
2898 even if it's on hold for someone else. If you would like Koha to
2899 prevent people from checking out books that are on hold for someone
2900 else set this preference to "Don't allow."
2902 .. _allowitemsonholdcheckoutsco-label:

2910 If allowed do not generate RESERVE_WAITING and RESERVED warning. This
2911 allows self checkouts for those items.
2921 This system preference relates only to Koha's web based self checkout.
2925 - When this preference is set to 'Allow' patrons will be able to use
2926 Koha's web based self checkout to check out a book to themselves
2927 even if it's on hold for someone else. If you would like Koha to
2928 prevent people from checking out books that are on hold for someone
2929 else set this preference to "Don't allow".
2931 .. _allowmultipleissuesonabiblio-label:
2933 AllowMultipleIssuesOnABiblio
2934 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2938 Asks: \_\_\_ patrons to check out multiple items from the same record.
2948 - If this preference is set to 'Allow' then patrons will be able to
2949 check out multiple copies of the same title at the same time. If it's
2950 set to "Don't allow" then patrons will only be allowed to check out
2951 one item attached to a record at a time. Regardless of the option
2952 chosen in this preference records with subscriptions attached will
2953 allow multiple check outs.
2957 This will only effect records without a subscription attached.
2959 .. _allownotforloanoverride-label:
2961 AllowNotForLoanOverride
2962 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2966 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to override and check out items that are marked as
2977 - This parameter is a binary setting which controls the ability of
2978 staff (patrons will always be prevented from checking these items
2979 out) to check out items that are marked as "not for loan". Setting it
2980 to "Allow" would allow such items to be checked out, setting it to
2981 "Don't allow" would prevent this. This setting determines whether
2982 items meant to stay in the library, such as reference materials, and
2983 other library resources can be checked out by patrons.
2985 .. _allowrenewallimitoverride-label:
2987 AllowRenewalLimitOverride
2988 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2992 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to manually override the renewal limit and renew a
2993 checkout when it would go over the renewal limit.
3003 - This preference is a binary setting which controls the ability of
3004 staff to override the limits placed on the number of times an item
3005 can be renewed. Setting it to "Allow" would allow such limits to be
3006 overridden, setting it to "Don't allow" would prevent this. This is a
3007 preference in which if it is set to "allow" it would allow the
3008 library staff to use their judgment for overriding the renew limit
3009 for special cases, setting it to "Don't allow" prevents an
3010 opportunity for abuse by the library staff.
3012 .. _allowreturntobranch-label:

3026 - only the library the item is from.
3028 - only the library the item was checked out from.
3034 - This preference lets the library system decide how they will accept
3035 returns. Some systems allow for items to be returned to any library
3036 in the system (the default value of this preference) others want to
3037 limit item returns to only specific branches. This preference will
3038 allow you to limit item returns (checkins) to the branch(es) set in
3041 .. _allowtoomanyoverride-label:
3043 AllowTooManyOverride
3044 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3048 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to override and check out items when the patron has
3049 reached the maximum number of allowed checkouts.
3063 - If this preference is set to "Allow" then staff all will be presented
3064 with an option to checkout more items to a patron than are normally
3065 allowed in the :ref:`Circulation and Fine Rules`. If
3066 this preference is set to "Don't allow" then no staff member will be
3067 able to check out more than the circulation limit.
3069 .. _automaticitemreturn-label:
3072 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
3076 Asks: \_\_\_ automatically transfer items to their home branch when they
3087 - This preference is a binary setting which determines whether an item
3088 is returned to its home branch automatically or not. If set to
3089 "Don't", the staff member checking an item in at a location other
3090 than the item's home branch will be asked whether the item will
3091 remain at the non-home branch (in which case the new location will be
3092 marked as a holding location) or returned. Setting it to "Do" will
3093 ensure that items checked in at a branch other than their home branch
3094 will be sent to that home branch.

3246 - If :ref:`CircControl` is set to 'the library the item
3247 is from' then the :ref:`circulation and fines
3248 policies <circulation-and-fine-rules-label>` will be determined by the item's
3249 library where HomeOrHoldingBranch chooses if item's home library
3250 is used or holding library is used.
3252 - If :ref:`IndependentBranches` is set to
3253 'Prevent' then the value of this preference is used in figuring
3254 out if the item can be checked out. If the item's home library
3255 does not match the logged in library, the item cannot be checked
3256 out unless you are a :ref:`superlibrarian <patron-permissions-defined-label>`.

3271 Asks: \_\_\_ items that have the location PROC to the location CART when
3272 they are checked in.
3282 - This preference is used to manage automatically changing item
3283 locations from processing (PROC) to the book cart (CART). A :ref:`cron
3284 job <in-processing/book-cart-label>` needs to be set to run at specified intervals
3285 to age items from CART to the permanent shelving location. (For
3286 example, an hourly cron entry of cart\_to\_shelf.pl --hours 3 where
3287 --hours is the amount of time an item should spend on the cart before
3288 aging to its permanent location.) More information can be found in
3289 the :ref:`related chapter <in-processing-/-book-cart-locations-label>` in this manual.

3322 that the item was marked lost.
3324 - require confirmation
3330 - This preference lets you define how library staff are notified that
3331 an item with a lost status is being checked out. This will help staff
3332 mark items as 'available' if you choose to 'display a message' or

3354 - This preference determines if a patron can check items out if there
3355 is an overdue fine on the account and any of the materials the patron
3356 wishes to check out will potentially tip the account balance over the
3357 maximum fines policy the library has in place.
3359 Example: Your library has a $5 limit set for 'fines' (ie, after
3360 incurring $5 in fines, a patron can no longer check out items). A patron
3361 comes to the desk with 5 items to check out (4 books and a video) The
3362 patron has $4 in charges already on their account. One of the videos has
3363 a rental charge of $1, therefore making the total fines on the patron's
3364 account suddenly $5 (the limit).

3387 Koha will include all manual invoices when deciding if the patron
3388 owes too much money to check anything else out of the library. If
3389 it's set to Don't include then Koha will ignore all manual invoice

3434 - This preference is the maximum amount of money owed to the library
3435 before the user is banned from borrowing more items. Using the
3436 :ref:`ManInvInNoissuesCharge` and
3437 :ref:`RentalsInNoissuesCharge` preferences
3438 you can control which types of charges are considered in this total.

3900 - This preference controls how scheduled library closures affect the
3901 due date of a material. The 'the calendar to skip all days the
3902 library is closed' setting allows for a scheduled closure not to
3903 count as a day in the loan period, the 'circulation rules only'
3904 setting would not consider the scheduled closure at all, and 'the
3905 calendar to push the due date to the next open day' would only effect
3906 the due date if the day the item is due would fall specifically on
3911 - The library has put December 24th and 25th in as closures on the
3912 calendar. A book checked out by a patron has a due date of December
3913 25th according to the circulation and fine rules. If this preference
3914 is set to 'circulation rules only' then the item will remain due on
3915 the 25th. If the preference is set to 'the calendar to push the due
3916 date to the next open day' then the due date will be December 26th.
3917 If the preference is set to 'the calendar to skip all days the
3918 library is closed' then the due date will be pushed to the 27th of
3919 December to accommodate for the two closed days.

4213 Asks: \_\_\_ staff to override hold policies when placing holds.
4223 - This preference is a binary setting which controls whether or not the
4224 library staff can override the circulation and fines rules as they
4225 pertain to the placement of holds. Setting this value to "Don't
4226 allow" will prevent anyone from overriding, setting it to "Allow"
4227 will allow it. This setting is important because it determines how
4228 strict the libraries rules for placing holds are. If this is set to
4229 "Allow", exceptions can be made for patrons who are otherwise
4230 normally in good standing with the library, but there is opportunity
4231 for the staff to abuse this function. If it is set to "Don't allow",
4232 no abuse of the system is possible, but it makes the system entirely
4233 inflexible in respect to holds.
4235 .. _allowholdsondamageditems-label:
4237 AllowHoldsOnDamagedItems
4238 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4242 Asks: \_\_\_ hold requests to be placed on damaged items.
4252 - This parameter is a binary setting which controls whether or not hold
4253 requests can be placed on items that are marked as "damaged" (items
4254 are marked as damaged by editing subfield 4 on the item record).
4255 Setting this value to "Don't allow" will prevent anyone from placing
4256 a hold on such items, setting it to "Allow" will allow it. This
4257 preference is important because it determines whether or not a patron
4258 can place a request for an item that might be in the process of being
4259 repaired or not in good condition. The library may wish to set this
4260 to "Don't allow" if they were concerned about their patrons not
4261 receiving the item in a timely manner or at all (if it is determined
4262 that the item is beyond repair). Setting it to "Allow" would allow a
4263 patron to place a hold on an item and therefore receive it as soon as
4264 it becomes available.

4273 Asks: \_\_\_\_ a patron to place a hold on a record where the patron
4274 already has one or more items attached to that record checked out.
4284 - By setting to "Don't allow," you can prevent patrons from placing
4285 holds on items they already have out, thus preventing them from
4286 blocking anyone else from getting an item.

4296 available items can fill that hold.

4306 AutoResumeSuspendedHolds
4307 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4311 Asks: \_\_\_ suspended holds to be automatically resumed by a set date.
4321 - If this preference is set to 'Allow' then all suspended holds will be
4322 able to have a date at after which they automatically become
4323 unsuspended. If you have this preference set to 'Allow' you will also
4324 need the :ref:`Unsuspend Holds` cron job running.
4328 The holds will become unsuspended the date after that entered by the

4333 canreservefromotherbranches
4334 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4338 Asks: \_\_\_ a user from one library to place a hold on an item from
4343 - This preference is a binary setting which determines whether patrons
4344 can place holds on items from other branches. If the preference is
4345 set to "Allow" patrons can place such holds, if it is set to "Don't
4346 allow" they cannot. This is an important setting because it
4347 determines if users can use Koha to request items from another
4348 branch. If the library is sharing an installation of Koha with other
4349 independent libraries which do not wish to allow interlibrary
4350 borrowing it is recommended that this parameter be set to "Don't
4357 - Don't allow (with :ref:`independent branches <independentbranches-label>`)

4362 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
4366 Asks: Confirm future hold requests (starting no later than \_\_\_ days
4367 from now) at checkin time.
4371 - When confirming a hold at checkin time, the number of days in this
4372 preference is taken into account when deciding which holds to show
4373 alerts for. This preference does not interfere with renewing,
4374 checking out or transferring a book.
4378 This number of days will be used too in calculating the default end
4379 date for the Holds to pull-report. But it does not interfere with
4380 issuing, renewing or transferring books.
4384 This preference is only looked at if you're allowing hold dates in
4385 the future with :ref:`AllowHoldDateInFuture`

4457 Asks: \_\_\_ sending an email to the Koha administrator email address
4458 whenever a hold request is placed.
4468 - This preference enables Koha to email the library staff whenever a
4469 patron requests an item to be held. While this function will
4470 immediately alert the librarian to the patron's need, it is extremely
4471 impractical in most library settings. In most libraries the hold
4472 lists are monitored and maintained from a separate interface. That
4473 said, many libraries that allow on shelf holds prefer to have this
4474 preference turned on so that they are alerted to pull an item from

4707 patron has on hold. After this expiration date the staff will have
4708 the option to release the unclaimed hold which then may be returned
4709 to the library shelf or issued to the next patron on the item's hold

4728 - Don't automatically
4732 - This preference refers to 'item specific' holds where the item is
4733 currently on the library shelf. This preference allows a library to
4734 decide whether an 'item specific' hold is marked as "Waiting" at the
4735 time the hold is placed or if the item will be marked as "Waiting"
4736 after the item is checked in. This preference will tell the patron

4745 StaticHoldsQueueWeight Default: 0
4747 HoldsQueueSkipClosed Default: open or closed
4749 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight Default: in that order
4751 Asks: Satisfy holds using items from the libraries \_\_\_ (as
4752 branchcodes, separated by commas; if empty, uses all libraries) when
4753 they are \_\_\_ \_\_\_.
4755 HoldsQueueSkipClosed Values:
4761 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight Values:
4765 - If StaticHoldsQueueWeight is left at the default Koha will
4766 randomize all libraries, otherwise it will randomize the libraries
4771 - If StaticHoldsQueueWeight is left at the default then this will
4772 use all of your branches in alphabetical order, otherwise it will
4773 use the branches in the order that you entered them in the
4774 StaticHoldsQueueWeight preference.
4778 - These preferences control how the :ref:`Holds Queue
4779 report <holds-queue-label>` is generated using :ref:`a cron
4780 job <holds-queue-label>`.
4782 If you do not want all of your libraries to participate in the
4783 on-shelf holds fulfillment process, you should list the the libraries
4784 that \*do\* participate in the process here by inputting all the
4785 participating library's branchcodes, separated by commas ( e.g.
4786 "MPL,CPL,SPL,BML" etc. ).
4788 By default, the holds queue will be generated such that the system
4789 will first attempt to hold fulfillment using items already at the
4790 pickup library if possible. If there are no items available at the
4791 pickup library to fill a hold, build\_holds\_queue.pl will then use
4792 the list of libraries defined in StaticHoldsQueueWeight. If
4793 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight is disabled ( which it is by default ), the
4794 script will assign fulfillment requests in the order the branches are
4795 placed in the StaticHoldsQueueWeight system preference.
4797 For example, if your system has three libraries, of varying sizes (
4798 small, medium and large ) and you want the burden of holds
4799 fulfillment to be on larger libraries before smaller libraries, you
4800 would want StaticHoldsQueueWeight to look something like
4803 If you want the burden of holds fulfillment to be spread out equally
4804 throughout your library system, simply enable
4805 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight. When this system preference is enabled,
4806 the order in which libraries will be requested to fulfill an on-shelf
4807 hold will be randomized each time the list is regenerated.
4809 Leaving StaticHoldsQueueWeight empty is contraindicated at this time.
4810 Doing so will cause the build\_holds\_queue script to ignore
4811 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight, causing the script to request hold
4812 fulfillment not randomly, but by alphabetical order.
4816 The :ref:`Transport Cost Matrix <transport-cost-matrix-label>` takes
4817 precedence in controlling where holds are filled from, if the matrix
4818 is not used then Koha checks the StaticHoldsQueueWeight. To use the
4819 Transport Cost Matrix simply set your
4820 :ref:`UseTransportCostMatrix` preference to

4886 - When TransferWhenCancelAllWaitingHolds is set to "Don't transfer", no
4887 branch transfer records are created. Koha will not allow the holds to
4888 be transferred, because that would orphan the items at the library
4889 where the holds were awaiting pickup, without any further instruction
4890 to staff as to what items are at the library or where they need to

5019 typing a name or other value into the field and have a menu pop up

5173 fines owed on them will pop up a warning when checking them in. This
5174 warning will need to acknowledged before you can continue checking
5175 items in. With this preference set to 'Don't notify,^ you will still

8171 - Enabling this feature will slow OPAC search response times.
8175 - COinS stands for ContextObjects in Spans. COinS is a method to embed
8176 bibliographic metadata in the HTML code of web pages. This allows
8177 bibliographic software to publish machine-readable bibliographic
8178 items and client reference management software (such as Zotero) to
8179 retrieve bibliographic metadata. The metadata can also be sent to an
8180 OpenURL resolver. This allows, for instance, searching for a copy of

8346 - The preference can look for stylesheets in the template directory for
8347 your OPAC language, for instance: /koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/css.
8348 If you upload a custom file, opac-mystyles.css to this directory, you
8349 can specify it by entering opac-mystyles.css in your
8350 opaccolorstylesheet system preference. This adds your custom
8351 stylesheet as a linked stylesheet alongside the OPAC's default CSS
8352 files. This method is preferable because linked stylesheets are
8353 cached by the user's browser, meaning upon repeat visits to your site
8354 the user's browser will not have to re-download the stylesheet,
8355 instead using the copy in the browser's cache.

8402 network share buttons and in your staff client when generating links
8403 to bib records in the OPAC.
8407 Do not include a trailing slash in the URL this will break links
8408 created using this URL. (example: http://www.google.com not

8507 starting with "image/"), or the generic indicator "img" entered in
8508 the field. When all of the requirements are met, an image file will
8509 be displayed instead of the standard link text. Clicking on the image
8510 will open it in the same way as clicking on the link text. When you

8546 Asks: Use the \_\_\_ theme as the fallback theme on the OPAC.
8550 - This preference has no use right now, as Koha has only one theme, but
8551 if your library has a custom theme it will show here as an option.
8552 The purpose of this preference is to provide a way to choose to what

8697 used in conjunction with HTML to set how the HTML page is formatted
8698 and will look on the OPAC. There are two stylesheets that come with
8699 the system; opac.css and opac2.css. A custom stylesheet may also be

10982 near the item they looked up. The shelf browser option appears on the
10983 details page to the right of each items' call number. Clicking the
10984 'Browse Shelf' link allows for a virtual shelf browsing experience
10985 via the OPAC and lets patrons see other books that may relate to
10986 their search and items that sit on the shelf near the item they are
10991 This uses up a fairly large amount of resources on your server, and

11154 this field will default to 26345000012942 for the next patron
11160 - This preference determines if the patron's barcode is automatically
11161 calculated. This prevents the person setting up the library card
11162 account from having to assign a number to the new card. If set to

11249 be when you renew their card. Using the 'current date' will add the
11250 subscription period to today's date when calculating the new
11251 expiration date. Using 'current membership expiry date' will add the
11252 subscription period to the old expiration date for the patron when
11253 renewing their account.

11335 When the value of this system preference is set to 'do', Koha will look at the
11336 patron's circulation history to see if they have checked this item out before.
11337 An alert will show up on the screen indicating that patron has indeed checked
11338 this item out. Staff will be prompted to allow the checkout to occur.
11339 If the vaulue is set to 'don't', Koha will not check the patron's circulation
11340 history. When the value is set to 'Unless overridden, do', this will check the

11342 patron's account. Lastly, if the value is set to 'Unless overridden, don't',
11343 Koha will not check circulation history regardless of fines, fees, and/or holds.

11966 - This preference controls whether the staff client keeps search
11967 history for logged in users. Search history will be accessible under
11968 the link to your account in the top right of the staff client.

11975 Default: Don't include
11977 Asks: \_\_\_ *see from* (non-preferred form) headings in bibliographic
11988 - When this preference is set to include the search engine indexer will
11989 insert *see from* headings from authority records into bibliographic
11990 records when indexing, so that a search on an obsolete term will turn
11991 up relevant records. For example when you search for cookery (the old
11992 term) you get titles with the heading of cooking (the new term).
11996 You will need to reindex your bibliographic database when changing
11999 .. _opacgroupresults-label:
12002 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12006 Asks: \_\_\_ PazPar2 to group similar results on the OPAC.
12016 This requires that `PazPar2 <http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2>`__ is
12017 set up and running.
12019 .. _queryautotruncate-label:
12022 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12024 Default: automatically
12026 Asks: Perform wildcard searching (where, for example, Har would match
12027 Harry and harp) \_\_\_ (The \* character would be used like so: Har\* or
12034 - only if \* is added
12038 - This setting allows for searches to be automatically truncated or for
12039 additional characters to be added to the end of a search string. When
12040 set to "automatically" the search string automatically ends with a
12041 wildcard function. For example, a search for the word "invent" with
12042 auto truncation enabled will also retrieve results for inventor,
12043 invention, inventory, etc. If you don't want this to happen
12044 automatically you can still be perform wildcard searches manually by
12045 adding an asterisk (\*). Typing "invent\*" even with auto truncation
12046 disabled will retrieve the same inventor, invention, inventory
12047 results. Auto truncation bypasses the necessity to type long search
12048 strings in their entirety.
12050 .. _queryfuzzy-label:
12053 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12057 Asks: \_\_\_ to match similarly spelled words in a search (for example,
12058 a search for flang would also match flange and fang)
12068 - This preference enables "fuzzy" searching, in which the search engine
12069 returns results that are similar to, but not exactly matching, the
12070 word or words entered by the user. This preference enables the search
12071 function to compensate for slightly misspelled names or phrases.
12075 Requires that :ref:`UseICU` set to 'Not using'
12077 .. _querystemming-label:
12080 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12084 Asks: \_\_\_ to match words of the same base in a search
12092 - A search for enabling would also match enable and enabled
12096 - This preference enables word stemming. Stemming allows the search
12097 function to return multiple versions of the same word, as well as
12098 related terms (i.e., both fish and fishing would be returned).

12134 - Searches for complete subject fields (example:
12135 opac-search.pl?q=su,complete-subfield:World%20Wide%20Web)
12139 - When TraceCompleteSubfields is set to "force," clicking on links in
12140 non-authority controlled subject tracings will only find other
12141 records where the entire subfields match. Leaving it at "don't force"
12142 does a keyword search of the subject indexes.
12146 This preference assumes that you're using XSLT stylesheets as set in
12147 the :ref:`OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay` preference.
12149 .. _tracesubjectsubdivisions-label:
12151 TraceSubjectSubdivisions
12152 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

12169 opac-search.pl?q=(su,complete-subfield:%22Web%20sites%22)%20and%20(su,complete-subfield:%22Design.%22))
12173 - When TraceSubjectSubdivisions is set to "Include," if you click on a
12174 subject with subdivisions (subfields other than 'a') they will be
12175 searched along with the subject heading (subfield 'a'). To have only
12176 the subject heading (subfield 'a') searched, set this preference to

12191 Asks: \_\_\_ ICU Zebra indexing.
12201 - ICU is a set of code libraries providing Unicode and Globalization
12202 support for software applications. What this means is ICU Zebra
12203 indexing is only necessary if you use non-roman characters in your
12204 cataloging. If using ICU Zebra indexing you will want to not use
12209 This setting will not affect Zebra indexing, it should only be used
12210 to tell Koha that you have activated ICU indexing if you have
12211 actually done so, since there is no way for Koha to figure this out
12216 Talk to your system administrator when changing this preference to
12217 make sure that your system is set up properly for this to work.
12219 .. _usequeryparser-label:
12222 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12224 Default: Do not try

12301 Asks: \_\_\_ facet counts.
12305 - This preference lets you decide if you show how many times a facet is
12306 used in your search results in the OPAC and the staff client. The
12307 relevance of these numbers highly depends on the value of the
12308 :ref:`maxRecordsForFacets` preference. Showing
12309 these numbers can potentially effect the performance of your
12310 searching, so test your system with different values for this
12311 preference to see what works best.

12351 Asks: Truncate facets length to \_\_\_ characters, in OPAC/staff
12356 - In the OPAC and the staff client your facets are cut off at 20
12357 characters by default. Depending on your layout this may be too many
12358 or two few letters, this preference lets you decide what number is
12359 best for your library's design.

12397 Asks: Build facets based on \_\_\_ records from the search results.
12401 - By default Koha only bases facets on the first page of results
12402 (usually 20 results). This preference lets you tell Koha to based the
12403 facet descriptions and numbers on any number of search results
12404 returned. The higher this number the longer it will take for your
12405 search results to return, so test with various different values to
12406 find the best balance for your library.

13664 modify / add authorities. If a record comes from the Sudoc (so 009 is
13665 filled with an integer), at the OPAC you will see "Author: Idref" if

13695 .. _oai-pmh-pref-label:
13698 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
13702 Asks: \_\_\_ Koha's OAI-PMH server.
13712 - Once enabled you can visit http://YOURKOHACATALOG/cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl
13713 to see your file. For the Open Archives Initiative-Protocol for
13714 Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) there are two groups of 'participants':
13715 Data Providers and Service Providers. Data Providers (open archives,
13716 repositories) provide free access to metadata, and may, but do not
13717 necessarily, offer free access to full texts or other resources.
13718 OAI-PMH provides an easy to implement, low barrier solution for Data
13719 Providers. Service Providers use the OAI interfaces of the Data
13720 Providers to harvest and store metadata. Note that this means that
13721 there are no live search requests to the Data Providers; rather,
13722 services are based on the harvested data via OAI-PMH. Koha at present
13723 can only act as a Data Provider. It can not harvest from other
13724 repositories. The biggest stumbling block to having Koha harvest from
13725 other repositories is that MARC is the only metadata format that Koha
13726 indexes natively. Visit
