[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 3.3.3 staff client receipt printing & defaults

Thu Sep 12 11:02:55 EDT 2019

Ben, I just want to be clear, the  (Administration -> Workstation -> Stored
User Preferences -> Server Workstation Prefs.) does just show you what
prefs are set, you cannot edit them there. You could use that info to
request that an org unit setting type be created by CW Mars for the
preferences you want to control for your org.  And then if you have access
to changing library settings for your org, you could set the setting for
your org.

But you would need to be on 3.2+ for that to work.
