<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Hi all,</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">I would like to share our experience with 3.6 regarding this new functionality of Hard Due Date:
<br>
<a href="http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5548">http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5548</a><br>
Please let me know if I need to put this comment elsewhere..</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">I would like to see with you what kind of workaround I can use :-)</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Basically, globalduedate and ceilingduedate has been removed and automatically fill the circ. rule instead.<br>
Look's great at first but, our libraries are all "school type" and we were modifying the ceilingdue at least 3 times each year.<br>
We we putting the "End of session" as the <span class="903531220-23012012">max </span>
return date.<br>
You also need to know that most of the libraries have a lot for circ. rule. ( From 50 to up to 200 ).</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">In the current state, we need to ask our librarians to manually update all the rules each time they want to specify a new ceiling due date.<br>
We can't only modify circ. rule so we need to redo them from scratch...<br>
So you can now see th<span class="903531220-23012012">at</span> this new feature is a big regression for us.<br>
Maybe not a regression, but error prone / time consuming problem.</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana"></font> </div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Is there any way to batch update an entire set of circ. rule to a new Hard due date ?</font></div>
<div><font size="2" face="Verdana">Any <span class="903531220-23012012">other </span>
idea you can share <span class="903531220-23012012">to help </span>us ? </font></div>
