This is my MySQL table issuingrules; +--------------+----------+-----------------+ | categorycode | itemtype | reservesallowed | +--------------+----------+-----------------+ | * | * | 3 | | ALUNOS-CET | AM | 3 | | ALUNOS-DOU | AM | 6 | | ALUNOS-ERA | AM | 3 | | ALUNOS-ERA | AM_REF | 0 | | ALUNOS-LIC | AM | 3 | | ALUNOS-MES | AM | 6 | | ALUNOS-POS | AM | 6 | | DOCENTES | AM | 6 | | DOCENTES | AM_HAN | 0 | | FUNC | AM | 3 | | INVEST | AM | 6 | +--------------+----------+-----------------+ (sorry for the bad formatting). A patron from any category can have more holds than the resersesallowed number. This is the only rules that I've. I've tried also to change the value of maxreserves in adminstration but with no sucess. Thanks for your time. Vitor Fernandes 2010/12/17 Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org>:
- When a patron has 6 in 6 checkouts possibles and the staff tries to checkout another item to the patron there is a prompt to say that the patron has already 6 checkouts. In that prompt the staff can checkout the item. There is some option to block the staff to checkout anymore items to that patron?
No. This would would be a nice addition to granular permissions.
- When a patron has a item checkout, and the staff tries to checkout the same item to another user, there is again a prompt where the staff can checkout the item to the other user. Again there is some Koha option to turn off that functionality?
No. I think in this case the assumption is that if the patron has presented a book for checkout, they are entitled to have it. In the public library setting (where I work), this usually happens when an item has been returned to the shelf without having been checked in.
- I've set up the circulation matrix and the circulation rules are working almost fine. The only problem is that the patron can place holds in more items than the holds allowed count. For example a patron with 6 holds allowed can placed holds in more than 6 items. How I can resolve it? Maybe some Koha option is missing me...
I don't find this to be the case. Can you describe in detail the steps you take to reproduce the problem?
