[Koha] how to leave quickly circulation message on specific items ?

Hi My colleagues often need to leave messages that must be seen at check-in. If the message concerns a patron, they can use Koha circulation message. (for example : "umbrella lost at the library...") But if the message concerns a specific item I think there is no easy way to do that. (for exampl

[Koha] 3.8 manual as a single PDF?

Re: [Koha] notifying patrons about holds
