[Evergreen-general] Discussion/Heat request for Bug 1721053

[Elizabeth Davis]

Hello Everyone,

PaILS is interested in pursuing future development for bug 1721053<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1721053> and we'd like to see how other consortia feel about it. Currently there is max hold option in the hold policies, but it doesn't limit to just the hold policy scenario but rather all holds.  For example, if you have a hold policy that says that patrons can have a max hold of 2 on the kit circulation modifier it will block patrons from placing holds on kits if they have more than 2 holds on any other circulation modifiers.   We have a few libraries that want to limit the number of holds patrons can have on higher ticket items like hotspots and library of things items.  They might have a higher limit on other circulation modifiers like 10 dvds and 25 on books.

We are interested in seeing how folks would prefer this to function.  Would a hold limit set, similar to how the circulation limit sets,  as suggested in the comments work?  Would you prefer the max hold value work on the individual hold scenario and leave it in the policy as it is now?  Does anyone have an alternative idea?

Thanks,
