Is there a way to set a global due date in Koha?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 3.0, 3.1

We are an elementary school and we are nearing the end of the year. We usually pick a date that all books will be due back by---can we set that date somewhere and can we set the calendar for dates that we are not in session ie: holidays?

There is a syspref for 'globalDueDate' that will override any dates set in the circulation matrix. 

  • Get there: More > Administration > Global preferences > Circulation > globalDueDate

As for holidays, there is a calendar module in Koha that will let you assign the days that your library isn't in session.

  • Get there: More > Tools > Calendar
