How to enable self check out module?

Koha comes with a very basic self checkout module. To enable this module you need to set the WebBasedSelfCheck preference to 'Enable.' To use this module you have to log in as a staff member with circulation permissions.

Note

Create a staff patron specifically for this action so that you don't leave a real staff client logged into a computer all day

There is no link to the Self Checkout module, but a simple addition to the IntranetUserJS system preference can add one.

$(document).ready(function(){ $("#login
      #submit").parent().after("<p><a
      href=\"http://YOUR_KOHA_OPAC_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl\"
      target=\"_blank\">Self-Checkout</a></p>"); }); 

Important

The code above has line breaks added to make it more readable, please be sure to enter the above as one line in when putting it in the system preference.

The link will then appear at the bottom of the log in page:

You can also access this module by going to : http://YOUR_KOHA_OPAC_URL/cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl

When on the self checkout page depending on your value in the SelfCheckoutByLogin preference you will be asked to enter you cardnumber

or your username and password:

Once you're logged in to the self check module you will be asked to scan the items you are checking out
