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 []
