[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Circulation Limit Sets, frustrations...

[Lindsay Stratton]

I am trying to set up what would seem to me to be a very simple circulation limit set, but I cannot make it work. I am probably missing something very elementary, hive mind, help me, please! 


Our org structure is very flat: 1 consortia, 42 libraries. Each library shares the patron and item databases, there are many shared policies (circ, holds, fines, etc), but each library is it's own entity and some of them are more individualized than others. 


For this limit set, I have 1 library that wants to limit the number of it's own video materials, checked out from that library. No other library should be impacted by this limit set. Ideally, no other owning library's video materials should impacted when checking out from the limiting library (to minimize use of the override when handling in-coming hold request video items in case of existing checkouts.) 


I have added this as: 


Owning library = GPL 
Items Out = 7 
Min Depth = 1 (this is confusing to me - documentation only specifies to use 0 when limiting your lib's materials at all other libraries... But, NOTHING I enter here makes a difference) 
Global = False 


The library has 2 circulation policies for the circulation modifier for two different user groups. I have attached the limit set to both. I have variously selected and de-selected Fallthrough (fallthrough to what, though?) In the database, can see that the circ limits are there and linked to the circ rules. But I can keep on checking out supposedly limited materials. 


We are currently running 2.7.5. We upgraded last month, and I last attempted limit sets in version 2.2, where I was able to implement the circ limits - although it did not discriminate based on item owning library. 


Thoughts?
