Hi Rachel,

1.    Setting notices up to run is part of a cron job. Can’t answer anymore there as Catalyst look after those for us.

2.    As to adding the due date to notices. For the advance ones we don’t include it, the notice just says ‘due soon’. For the overdue notices, adding <<items.content>> into the appropriate place in the notice template should cover what you need. For us, that produces Due Date  -  Title  -  Barcode  -  Author  for each item due.

Hope that helps.

Hi there,

1. Can anyone help me please to set up notices warning borrowers that items are nearly due. I see a predue notice in the notices list but can’t find how to set up when it goes out.
2. Also, I would like to know how to insert the due date into this notice and the overdue notices. It does not appear in the list of fields available.

I have scoured the manual but have not been able to find either item. What am I doing wrong?

We are running Version 3.02.00.004

Many thanks,

Rachel Black
