Before You Begin

Make sure you have set up these views:

Location. Set up a location in Horizon for each location you have. (For instructions, see “Library Locations” in the “General Setup” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)
Itype. (For instructions, see Preparing Horizon to Work with Item Records.)
Btype. (For instructions, see Defining a Borrower Circulation Type (BTYPE).)

You must create locations, ITYPEs, and BTYPEs. Whenever you create a new location, ITYPE, or BTYPE code, Horizon creates a group that contains that code. You can also choose to create your own groups that contain multiple codes. This lets you apply circulation privileges and parameters to more than one location, ITYPE, or BTYPE at a time. (For more information, see Creating or Editing Groups to Define Circulation Privileges and Parameters and Setting Up Circulation Privileges and Parameters.)

To set up a location to allow loans

1 Set up loans allowed (circulation parameter 32).

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, do one of these options:
If you want to allow loans from this location group, enter “1”.
If you do not want to allow loans from this location group, enter “0” (zero).
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, borrower type, or item type group fields.
c In the Value field, do one of these options:
If you want to allow loans from the group, enter “1”.
If you do not want to allow loans from the group, enter “0” (zero).

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

4 Save your changes.
