Select the checkbox to the left of a parameter to inherit the setting from the default borrower category. Clear this checkbox if you want to change the setting for the selected borrower category. You can also click Inherit All and Inherit None to inherit or disinherit the settings for all parameters.
You can specify a joining fee to be applied when a borrower is registered. You'll be prompted with a message about the fee when you register a borrower and can choose whether or not to apply it.
To specify the joining fee:
- From the Module Menu select Maintenance, Circulation and then Borrower Categories.
- Select the category you want from the list.
- On the Details tab, set an amount in Membership joining fee.
- Press Tab or click anywhere on the screen to enable the Save options.
- Click Save or Save & Close.
The code for the Membership joining fee is specified as the Membership fee charge code in the General Parameters. Be sure to include this code on the Charges tab in the borrower category.
Rather than apply a one-off membership joining fee, you might prefer to offer a range of membership/renewal periods with different fees for each one. See
Membership for borrower categories for details on how to set this up.
