We are now in addition of Circulation and Fine Rules. However, we are confused on the values we are going to input in the fields: 1. Fine days 2. Fine Charging Interval 3. Current Checkouts We have a rule here in our library that whenever a borrower exceeds the due date, he/she is given a 10 pesos fine per DAY. I understand that we are going to place the 10 pesos in the fine amount. Am I correct if I place the 1 (day) value in the Fine Charging INterval? Then, what about the Fine days? What value will I input in that field? Same with the Current checkout. What value will I place here? Thanks in advance for the help. Have a nice day.

Correct.

Zero - the fine days is an alternative penalty mechanism that suspends the patron's circulation privileges for the number of "fine days" specified instead of imposing a monetary fine.
Same with the Current checkout. What value will I place here?
You would enter the maximum number of items that a patron may have out at once for the patron's category and the item's type and library. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
