[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Customize Fines and Due Dates

[Richard Maloley II]

Thanks!

Please excuse my confusion but I'm not sure what those items mean - what
does it mean by Fine threshold and overdue items threshold? Does that mean
the maximum amount of the fine or does it define how much the fine is?

I'm also not sure what you mean when you say the logic and rules for
checkout?

Thanks,
Richard
