[Koha] How to setup Holds in Koha

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

1. To my knowledge it's currently not possible to limit the number of
holds on a record or an item like that. The limits available usually
apply 'per patron'. So you can limit how many holds a patron may place
in total, on certain item types, in a day, or on a single record etc.

2. There is a new feature in 21.05 that might be helpful:*
Bug 26498*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26498> - Add
option to set a default expire date for holds at reservation time

Hope this helps,

Katrin
