Setting the Length of the Request Queue

Circulation parameter 39 (Length of hold queue before loan period override applies) lets you specify the number of unfilled requests that can be in the request queue before Horizon applies the loan period override.

To set the length of the request queue

1 Set up length of hold queue before loan period override applies (circulation parameter 39).

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 total number of unfilled requests that can be in the request queue before Horizon applies the loan period override.

If you enter “0” (zero), Horizon never applies the loan period override.

3 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 group, borrower type group, or item type group fields.
c In the Value field, do one of these options:
If you do not want to use the loan period override, enter “0” (zero).
Enter the total number of unfilled requests that can be in the queue before Horizon applies the loan period override.

Note: The exception value set here overrides the default value for this parameter.

4 Save your changes.
