[Koha] Missing "merge selected" button

[Rubén Fernández Asensio]

Hi all,

For some weird reason I can't merge biblio records after searching in my
catalog.
The manual says that after finding duplicates, I should be able of
checking "the boxes next to the duplicates and click the ‘Merge
selected’ button at the top of the results.":
https://koha-community.org/manual/18.05/en/html/cataloging.html#merging-records

However, what I see over the found records is only this:
"Select all | Clear all | Unhighlight | Add to list | Place hold |
Z39.50/SRU search | Sort"

I can't see that button anywhere in the entire staff interface, even
after selecting the records. Where should it be?

Could the reason be that the duplicate records belong to different
branches? I've switched "IndependentBranches" to "No" but still no
difference. And anyway, I have superlibrarian permissions.

I'm running Koha 18.05.

Ruben

Hello Ruben,

I'm not 100% sure, but I think I may have found what causes this. When you search in 'Search the catalogue', the option to merge records doesn't appear. You'll only get the options you've mentioned below ("Select all | Clear all | Unhighlight | Add to list | Place hold | Z39.50/SRU search | Sort"). It's only possible to merge records in the 'Cataloging search'. How to go there: Home -> Cataloging -> Cataloging search.

I hope this does the trick.

Kind regards,

Giacomo.

D'oh! It was exactly that!
The manual should be much more explicit, I think.
