The closure expansion editor allows the configuration of periods of time during which the circulation facilities of Pergamon are closed. In most cases, only a single record need be created for each type of closure as the advanced editor allows closure records to be configured in such a way as to repeat at known intervals.

The workstations field allows the record to be configured only for a sub-set of workstations in a multi-user Pergamon environment. Within the Ptolomy release of Pergamon, only system-wide (i.e. All workstations) can be selected.

The start date is used to set the first day on which the closure begins.

The duration field is used to set the number of days that the closure covered, inclusive of the start-date.

The Repeat drop-down list is used to set whether or not, and what type of repetition is implemented for this closure day record. The repeat drop-down currently supports No Repetition (for one-off closures), Weekly, Monthly and Yearly repeats.

Weekend closures can be configured by creating a record with the description of 'Weekend Closures' (or a similar useful description), and then setting the duration to 2 and the repetition option to 'Weekly'.

The 'start date' should be set to the first applicable Saturday of the period from which the weekend closure days will run. Usually, this should be set to the first Saturday of the current year.
