Meeting Notes

Reminder fee (for more notes please see the presentation as well as chat and captions)

When will the polling be and how (configurable or not)
Naming the fee type 'reminder fee' is ok for Leipzig because the translation will differ
What will be the trigger for sending reminder fee notice?
- We would need a daily routine to check for overdue books and then send a notice out to the patron
- Reminder fee charged is the trigger here (similar to aged to lost)
set blocking (requests, loan, renewal) at every sequence
automatic or manual block
A possible additional scope that could be of interest for US libraries:
- Thomas Trutt (in Chat): What Brooks said makes sense, adding the US request for "you will be fined XX" notifications to this ticket; extending the functionality.. What I realized was that the 'reminder fees' look like they would count against the patrons maximum fine/fee automated block, where the other ticket that may no be the desirable action. we would want patron to know they will be billed $$ because its overdue but not block them until the fee is added.
Scope for development: maybe phasing out can be an option so that there is something for a nearer release
Desired feature is for column in fee/fine details page as to whether reminder fee is e.g. the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd reminder fee.
Collections is not implemented yet - although transfer should be possible
Notices need to be speced
Next steps:
- Holly is going to add these requirements and come back to us
- the german libraries are going to share the presentation and are going to talk about this in their regional meeting
