Monday Minutes: Auto Renewal Notice
by Jessie Zairo on Nov 25, 2024
In this week's Monday Minutes, Nick, Jessie, and Andrew discuss the ability to send a 'final auto-renewal notice'. In 23.11 Koha introduced Bug 34924 - Add ability to send 'final auto-renewal notice'.
This line added to the notice warns the user that the item won't be renewed when it becomes due.
