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

[Walz, Jennifer]

Michele,

Sweet!    Here I was frantic about filling in all the little boxes.   I don’t have to!   Amazing.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
Our most generic hold policy has the following filled in:
Requestor Permission Group: Users
Active: Checked
Holdable? : Checked
Hope this helps,
Michele

Rogan,

When you have a bare minimum setting in the hold policies, what does it look like?   In other words, which fields can you leave blank and which HAVE to be filled in?   It is possible that I have missed a setting somewhere.

Thanks!

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.

All –

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

            The death cure / James Dashner.
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!
