> Katrin, and all other interested parties!
> We have written the following brief proposal below.  This proposal provides
> an option for libraries to allow patrons to select preferences for their
> overdue messages.  We are looking to balance the patron's ability to set a
> preference with the library's ability to control messaging related to
> overdues. 
> 
> We appreciate everyone's feedback on this proposal:
>  
> 
> Add two checkboxes to each transport type in the Overdue Triggers matrix. 
>    1.  Enabled:  Will the library send a notice in this transport type?
>    2. Mandatory: When checked, this transport is the way that this message
> is sent.  (multiple transport types can be selected) Patron preferences will
> be ignored in favor of the transport the library has indicated as mandatory.
> 
> Add matrix of Overdue Message Preferences in the Patron Message Preference
> screen.  The matrix will contain the 3 Overdue messages (odue1,odue2,odue3)
> and patrons will be able to indicate their preferences for receiving these
> messages.  This matrix will appear on opac and staff side depending on
> EnhancedMessage System Preference.
> 
> Add an additional System preference to control whether patron can edit the
> Overdue messaging preferences.
>   If enabled -- Show a BOLD message that they can choose their preferences
> but library policies may override their choice (see Mandatory above)
>     Patrons will be forced to select at least one transport type.
>   If disabled -- Show a read only matrix of the patron's libraries (or
> default) transport types that are set in Overdue triggers and a note that
> other library policies may override the patron's libraries settings.

This sounds like a good balance of flexibility and control! +1 and then +1
again for good measure :)
