But group B has 2 Book titles (Rule 1), 1 Audiobook (Rule 2), and 1 Large print (Rule 3). Would the group count as 1 hold toward Rule 1, 1 toward Rule 2, and 1 toward Rule 3? Would it count as 1 or 3 toward 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)'?
I'd expect each group of holds to count as 1 hold toward any rule that applies to one or more of the items in the group. So in this example the group would count as 1 for each of your 3 itemtype-specific rules and as 1 for the umbrella total holds rule. So the group counts similarly to a single biblio-level hold on a record that has items of multiple different itemtypes -- if the bib has a book, an audiobook, and a large print, that hold gets counted when checking against rules about any of those itemtypes.
Issue 2: If a system's ReservesControlBranch is 'item's home library' and titles are from different libraries, which library's rules are used for 'Holds allowed (Total)' and 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)'? For example:
-Group C has 3 titles (all itype Book) -North allows 2 Book holds, Main allows 3, and East allows 4 ('Holds allowed (Total)') -Bib 1 has only has North copies, bib 2 only has Main copies, and bib 3 only has East copies --North allows 5 total holds, Main allows 10, and East allows 6 ('Maximum total holds allowed (count)')
Does Koha use North, Main, or East's Book 'Holds allowed (Total)'? And which library's 'Maximum total holds allowed (count)' does this count toward?
When the patron tries to place a new hold, Koha will use the total holds allowed rule for the homebranch of then item the patron is attempting to hold. So your example patron would be allowed to place up to 4 more holds on North items, 9 more holds on Main items, and 5 more holds on East items. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
