[Koha] Question about item types and overdue triggers

[Heidi J. Oliversen]

Hi:

Lurker here.  I've been researching the Overdue Notice /Status 
Triggers and I have a couple of questions.  If anyone can share their 
experiences I would appreciate it.

1. Does anyone use the Advance Notice of Item Due and, if so, how do 
you make the system send the notice before the item is due?  The 
field does not like negative numbers.

2. I noticed that the Demo database now has Item Types listed in the 
area that defines the "Defining default overdue actions" area.  Is 
anyone using the notice triggers based on item type instead of patron 
type?  Do you have to provide default information for both patron and 
item types in order to trigger notices?

3.  Does the system automatically add every Patron and Item type to 
"Defining default overdue actions" page?

Thanks for any information you can share.
