Circulation and Fines Rules
-This matrix is to be used to create all of the rules associated with circulation and fines.
-
- -
- The rules are applied from most specific to less specific, using the first found in this order:
-
- - same library, same patron type, same item type
- - same library, same patron type, default item type
- - same library, default patron type, same item type
- - same library, default patron type, default item type
- - default library, same patron type, same item type
- - default library, same patron type, default item type
- - default library, default patron type, same item type
- - default library, default patron type, default item type
-
- -
-TIP: To modify a rule, create a new one with the same patron type and item type
- -
- These rules can be applied to individual libraries by choosing them from the pull down at the top of the page, by default the rules are applied to all libraries

+These rules define how your items are circulated, how/when fines are calculated and how holds are handled. The rules are applied from most specific to less specific, using the first found in this order:
+
+
+- same library, same patron type, same item type
+- same library, same patron type, default item type
+- same library, default patron type, same item type
+- same library, default patron type, default item type
+- default library, same patron type, same item type
+- default library, same patron type, default item type
+- default library, default patron type, same item type
+- default library, default patron type, default item type
+
+TIP: If you are a single library system, you can leave your library selection to 'default library' or choose your branch name and experience the same results.
+
+Default Issuing Rule
+
+Using the issuing rules matrix you can define rules that depend on patron/item type combos. To set your rules, choose a library from the pull down:
+
+TIP: If you leave this set to 'Default' it will apply the rules to all libraries
+
+From the matrix you can choose any combination of patron categories and item types to apply the rules to.
+
+- First choose which patron category you'd like the rule to be applied to. If you leave this to 'Default' it will apply to all patron categories
+- Choose the 'Item Type' you would like this rule to apply to. If you leave this to 'Default' it will apply to all item types
+- Limit the number of items a patron can have checked out at the same time by entering a number in the 'Current Checkouts Allowed' field
+- Define the period of time and item can be checked out to a patron by entering the number of days in the 'Loan Period' box.
+- 'Fine Amount' should have the amount you would like to charge for overdue items
+
- IMPORTANT: Enter only numbers and decimal points.
+- The 'Fine Grace Period' is the period of time an item can be overdue before you start charging fines.
+- Enter the 'Fine Charging Interval' in days (ex. charge fines every 1 day, or every 2 days)
+- If your library 'fines' patrons by suspending their account you can enter the number of days their fine should be suspended in the 'Suspension in Days' field
+- Next decide if the patron can renew this item type and if so, enter how many times they can renew it in the 'Renewals Allowed' box
+- If the patron can place holds on this item type, enter the total numbers of items (of this type) that can be put on hold in the 'Holds Allowed' field
+- Finally, if you charge a rental fee for the item type and want to give a specific patron type a discount on that fee, enter the percentage discount (without the % symbol) in the 'Rental Discount' field
+
+When finished, click 'Add' to save your changes. To modify a rule, create a new one with the same patron type and item type. If you would like to delete your rule, simply click the 'Delete' link to the right of the rule.
+
+To save time you can clone rules from one library to another by choosing the clone option above the rules matrix.
+
+After choosing to clone you will be presented with a confirmation message.
+
+Default Checkouts and Hold Policy
+
+You can set a default maximum number of checkouts and hold policy that will be used if none is defined below for a particular item type or category.
+
+From this menu you can set a default to apply to all item types and patrons in the library.
+
+- In 'Total Current Checkouts Allowed' enter the total number of items patrons can have checked out at one time
+- Control where patrons can place holds from using the 'Hold Policy' menu
+
- From Any Library: Patrons from any library may put this item on hold. (default if none is defined)
+- From Home Library: Only patrons from the item's home library may put this book on hold.
+- No Holds Allowed: No patron may put this book on hold.
+- Once your policy is set, you can unset it by clicking the 'Unset' link to the right of the rule
+
+Checkouts Per Patron
+
+For this library, you can specify the maximum number of loans that a patron of a given category can make, regardless of the item type.
+
+TIP: If the total amount loanable for a given patron category is left blank, no limit applies, except possibly for a limit you define for a specific item type.
+
+Item Hold Policies
+
+For this library, you can edit rules for given itemtypes, regardless of the patron's category. Currently, this means hold policies.
+
+The various policies have the following effects:
+
+- From Any Library: Patrons from any library may put this item on hold. (default if none is defined)
+- From Home Library: Only patrons from the item's home library may put this book on hold.
+- No Holds Allowed: No patron may put this book on hold.
+
+IMPORTANT: Note that if the system preference AllowHoldPolicyOverride set to 'allow', these policies can be overridden by your circulation staff.
+
+IMPORTANT: These policies are based on the patron's home branch, not the branch that the reserving staff member is from.
