Configuring Other System
Preferences
In this chapter, our goal will be to complete the application configuration and be in a
position to use Koha in a test or production environment. We will learn to configure
system preferences related to:
The rest of the transactional modules-patrons, acquisitions, and serials
The Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC)
Styling and appearance of the OPAC and the staff client
Messaging, security, and search
Koha has dozens of system preferences, some more important than others. We will
focus on the important ones in this chapter. Readers should refer to Koha's online
user manual for latest information on other preferences.
Understanding Koha's system
preferences
System preferences are essentially choices that each Koha library makes about how
the Koha should function. In this first section of the chapter, let us learn about Koha's
system preferences module, the nature, and organization of the preferences. We
share tips on using these preferences and finding information on these online.
