[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] System rules for hold?

[Walz, Jennifer]

Rogan,

Funny thing is, I thought I had a blanket policy for everything.     And I don’t think we have any other policies for anything else specific.  I will check again though.

  Thanks!

Jennifer

There are a lot of different ways to do holds policies.  I'm guessing you have specific policies for different circulation modifers or shelving locations or however you approached it and there isn't a hold policy for this specific scenario (circ mod, copy location, whatever).  I usually avoid this by having a generic policy that covers everything and then more specific policies that are exceptions.

Ok.  I am getting this message when we place a hold for a student on a book from the stacks.

Hold was not successfully placed
Problem: System rules do not define how to handle this item

What does “system rules do not define” mean??   Which system rules and what should I set them to be to make them work correctly without needing an override?


Thanks!
