To set the loan period override
1 | Set up Loan period override for long request queues (circulation parameter 40). |
For general instructions, see Setting Up or Editing a Circulation Parameter. Then use the remaining steps of this task to customize the parameter.
2 | In the Value field, enter the default number of days for the loan period override. |
(For example, if you want the loan period override to be one week,
enter “7”.)
3 | Mark the appropriate unit of time that works with the number you entered in the Value field (days, hours, or minutes). |
If the loan period override is set to a value greater than the default loan period, Horizon uses the default loan period. (For example, if the default loan period is set to 14 and you set a loan period override of 21, Horizon uses the shorter 14‑day loan period.)
4 | If you want to create or edit any exceptions, do these steps in the Special Values group: |
a | Choose the exception that you want to change, or create a new exception. |
b | Enter or choose a code in one or more of the location, borrower type, or item type fields. |
c | In the Value field, enter a numerical value for the loan period override exception you want to use. |
d | Mark the appropriate unit of time that works with the number you entered in the Value field. |
Note: The exception value set here overrides the default value for this parameter.
5 | Save your changes. |
