[Evergreen-circ] permission to exceed checkout limit

[Jason Boyer]

There are 2 Library Settings related to in-house use: “Record In-House Use: # of uses threshold for Are You Sure? dialog” and “Record In-House Use: Maximum # of uses allowed per entry” They can be raised to allow you to enter whatever values you need. They’re intended to prevent situations where staff may accidentally scan a barcode into the # of uses box. It would be helpful to not raise the warning limit too high to make sure that doesn’t happen in this case.

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.
