Notes
RA SIG 11-8-18
Emma:
When checking in a missing item, we could have three options:
- a modal popup that completes the check-in
- an option to back out of checkout
- nothing
Concern is not to lose patron information. If we can get to borrower info, there is no real reason to cancel out of the check-in. If there is a suppression on the record (and now needs to be unsuppressed), need to have that fact noted (to be retrieved through a report) or the record updated.
If the item wasn’t checked out to anybody, just confirm the message. Don’t worry about what-if.
Darcy: real-time generation of notices vs scheduled generation of notices
- Decided not to include an “Until” setting because other events (such as checking in the item) will automatically stop the notices from continuing
- Add radio button override option for running notice on real time or batch job (default set on institution level)
- Batch scheduler will have to be constructed
Sean: Policies
Loan rules editor: basic syntax
- there is an editor for the loan rules that allows you to put in criteria
- combination of material type, patron type, policy #
- use plus sign to combine criteria
- colon is used to link criteria to a policy
- ! is used as exception
- tabs can be used to nest rules
- space is used to include multiple values
Fall back policies for Loans, Fines, Holds, Recalls, Notices
When policy is undefined, it uses the default policy
Inheritance is denoted by brackets []
