Offline circulation tool (Firefox add-ons) setup

Koha Offline Circulation Tool (Firefox add-on) allows you to record your circulation transactions during an Internet outage.

When the Internet is back, you can upload your transactions to Koha in 2 different ways:

1) Manual transfer with a (.koc) file
or
2) Automatic transfer mode

Install the Firefox Add-ons

A new icon should appear next to the search box.

Koha offline circulation tool Add-ons updates mode

1 Click on “settings page”
2 In the “Details tab”, choose the updates mode

3 Setup the plugin

No settings are required for (.koc) file transfer mode. However, you must fill in this form before using the automatic transfer mode.

To setup the automatic transfer mode:

server : Koha URL (staff interface)
( example: https:bibliotheque-intranet.inlibro.net )

Login and password: ID you would normally use to login in Koha

Branchcode: library branch code

To find out your branchcode, go in Koha > Administration > Library

Commit Type

We do not recommend the « Apply directly to Koha » option since all transactions are transferred directly to Koha without the chance to review them.

4 Click on “Save”

5 Restart Firefox
