[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation policy setting - circulation duration rules

[Thomas Berezansky]

If renewals are working, and you didn't intend to have  
renewal-specific rules, I would update the rules to set is_renewal to  
NULL to see if it fixes things. It being set to true would make the  
rules only apply to renewals. This can be done with the following SQL  
statement:

UPDATE config.circ_matrix_matchpoint SET is_renewal = NULL;

You will, obviously, need to be more careful if you do have  
renewal-specific rules in place.

> I am setting circulation policies for new Evergreen system in Evangelical
> Theological Seminary Library and I came across a problem with circulation
> duration rules application when checking out materials.
>
> The library has the four patron permission groups. Different circulation
> policies were created for those groups, with various circulation duration
> rules assigned to each group.
> There exist also default circulation policy for default (parent) permission
> group ,?User? in the system.
>
> The problem occurs when checking out materials. The circulation duration
> rule assigned to permission group ?User? is always applied to ALL
> circulations regardless of patron permission group and circulation policy
> assigned (E.G. circulation duration rule ?60_days_3_renew? should be
> applied to permission group ?Internal students? by checkout  but instead of
> it the duration rule ?28_days_1_renew? assigned to group ?Users? is
> applied). When renewing checked out materials, the circulation duration
> rules are applied correctly (in accordance with the assigned circulation
> policy and circulation duration rule)
> .
> I tried to deactivate the default circulation policy for ?User? group (i.e.
> set the circulation policy parameter ?active? for permission group User to
> ?FALSE?), but when the circulation policy for group ?User? is not active,
> the pop-up window appears with error message ?Exceptions:
> no_matchpoint? and it is not possible to check out any copy.
> It is important to solve the problem, because the library needs various
> circulation duration for each patron permission group.

> Thanks in advance for any ideas :-).
