Specifying the Number of Days Before the Pre-overdue Notice is Sent

In addition to enabling pre-overdue notices for a borrower, you must specify how many days before the item due date to send out the pre-overdue notice.

To specify the number of days before the pre-overdue notice is sent

1 Go to Administration > Table Editor.
2 Select the btype table, and then click OK.
3 Select one or more Borrower Circulation types for which you want to change the number of days, and then click Edit.
4 Click Page Down to get to page 2 of the table fields.
5 In the Pre-Overdue Day field, type an integer for the number of days before the due date that the system should email the patron.

Note: Set the pre-overdue days to a value shorter than the majority of loan periods to avoid missing the sending of a notice.

If you do not run the pre-overdue notice process until after the item is overdue, the system will not send the pre-overdue notice. (For information on running the process, see Running the Pre-overdue Notice Process).

6 Click Save to save your settings, and then click Close to close the window.

Pre-overdue notices of daily checkouts (not hourly checkouts) will now be sent to the email address of borrowers who have requested the pre-overdue notice.
