In This Topic

Select the checkbox to the left of a parameter to inherit the setting from the default policy. Clear this checkbox if you want to change the setting for the selected policy. You can also click Inherit All and Inherit None to inherit or disinherit the settings for all parameters.

Allow issues

To specify whether items under a particular loan policy can be issued:

From the Module Menu select Maintenance, Circulation, Policies and then Loan Policies.
Select the policy you want from the list.
Set Allow issues to Yes or No.
If there are records linked to the policy then you'll be prompted whether you want to update the existing policy or create a new one and deactivate the existing one.
- Click Update if you want to update the existing policy. The records linked to the policy will be updated.
- Click Create New if you want to create a new policy. The records linked to the existing (deactivated) policy will not be updated.
Click Save or Save & Close.

Null means the same as No.

Allow issues - alert override

If Allow issues is set to No then the POLNOISS alert will be displayed if you try to issue an item under the selected policy. If you wish, you could add your own alert and then select this as Allow issues - alert override.
