[Bug 39988] New: Allow limiting the number of ILL requests one patron can have at a time
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39988 Bug ID: 39988 Summary: Allow limiting the number of ILL requests one patron can have at a time Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: Main Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: ILL Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lisette@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: pedro.amorim@openfifth.co.uk, tomascohen@gmail.com It would be great if we could specify (maybe in patron type or circ and fine rules?) How many ILl requests partners could have at a time, possibly with the ability to select which statuses count against it. Backends could limit their own, but standard has no way to limit at this time. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39988 --- Comment #1 from Pedro Amorim <pedro.amorim@openfifth.co.uk> --- If you enter the following under <interlibrary_loans> in koha-conf.xml: <borrower_category> <code>S</code> <request_limit> <method>active</method> <count>2</count> </request_limit> </borrower_category> I believe you can effectively limit the number of requests that a given patron category can place. Any requests placed over that become "QUEUED". This works for any backend. Look at 'backend_create' in Koha::ILL::Request. I don't believe this information is well documented and this particular functionality was added 8 years with the very first push of the ILL module. I'm not sure if this answers this use case specifically, but thought this would be useful information to add here regardless. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I don't think I've ever heard about this or seen it in action. Huh. I think we should consider moving that into the GUI. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
