That sounds good. I know I'm guilty of going with summary versions of things whenever possible and only going back to the super detail level if necessary.

Okay, this is so so so strange - I was looking at this with Liz yesterday. I see the word Important where you see a broken image. Now that I'm replying I see a broken image :)
Anyway, that problem aside - I can reword that to try and make it clearer in the manual - another change that I also think will be ignored - is to put it in the summary at the top of that page.

At the very least you will need to set an absolute default circulation rule. This rule should be set for the default itemtype, default branchcode and default patron category. That will catch anyone who doesn't match a specific rule. Patrons who do not match a specific rule will get blocked from placing holds, since there was no baseline number of holds to utilize.
Assuming one uses the documentation (impediment #1), maybe the confusion arises with the use of the expression "absolute default circulation rule." That certainly confuses me.
Also, my understanding is that you have to have the so-called absolute default circulation rule (aka default default) set or no one can place holds even if the other rules are set.
Anyway, clear to me that this is a source of confusion that would benefit from another round of wordsmithing or tightening up (on screen and in documentation). I'd be happy to help but I still don't understand really how it works.

This is in the manual already - http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x3293#AEN3534 it's labeled as IMPORTANT for a reason :)

That's the beauty of Koha Lori, you could be that person.
