[Evergreen-circ] permission to exceed checkout limit

[Jason Boyer]

Hi Diane, I’m not sure there’s any really good way to track door count in an ILS, but a better way than checkouts would be using the Record In House Use feature. You can define a non-cataloged in house use type named Door Count, then mark it “used” to count. As a bonus, there is a “# of uses” box so you can enter that it was used 5 times rather than marking it used 5 separate times in a row.

I want to give branch accounts permission to exceed our 100 item checkout limit. I tried to checkout 111 items in uncataloged checkout and wasn't even given the option to override the block.
