Lookup Item Expansion Editors:
Priority
The priority check box is used to state that the value in the 'Loan Days' field should override that in the Circulations Profile. This is a rare need however, and most media types should leave this field unchecked.
Groups Advanced Editor
The groups expansion editor provides a means to record a textual description of the group type in a large-quantity text field, along with information regarding how the group type is used in other functional areas.
The advanded editor drop-down list provides a means to select a specialised Advanced Editor type to be made available to Items of this group type when edited within the Manage Reader dialog.
Within the Ptolomy release of Pergamon, only one type of specialised editor is available: The general groups editor.
Circulation Profile Advanced Editor
The Circulation Profile Editor is used to create the rules by which a circulation can take place between an Reader and an Item. The editor contains four fields:
Default loan days The default loan days field is used to set the duration that any Reader with this circulation profile is permitted to posses an Item.
Add closure days The Add Closure Days checkbox is used to determine whether days are added to the normal loan duration limit if the date on which the Item is due falls on a library closure day.
Restrict The restrict checkbox is used to prevent any and all circulations to Reader assigned to this circulation profile.
Media Overrides The Media Overrides list displays all of the media types currently configured within the Pergamon database. Clicking on any row provides a means to set an override for Items of that particular media type.
Any Item with an override set is permitted a loan duration equal to the value set in this list. Any media type remaining at 0, uses the standard duration set for the circulation profile as a whole.
