--- Comment #7 from Olli-Antti Kivilahti <olli-antti.kivilahti at jns.fi> ---
We normally use itype to calculate circulation rules, but needed a solution to
set some items to shorter circulation duration (shortloan "SHLO") and some to
even more shorter (quickloan "QILO").

So we made ccodes SHLO and QILO and set them in the C4-modules to their
respective durations when circulation rules were checked.

Obviously this is not a very good solution and I am looking for a way to
generalize that a bit so we could get that feature to master :)

Do you think giving items a new attribute, "loan duration", which would
essentially give the normal circulation duration some variation, would work for
others as well?

Loan duration could be for ex "short" , "quick" , "normal" , "long" , "epoch" ,
"forever".

Then in the cgi-bin/koha/admin/smart-rules.pl we could set the "Loan period"
for each of the available "Loan duration"s.

So for DVD's with short duration period is 7days, normal is 14days , epoch is
28 days ...

Sounds fair?
Also should be some some flag about whether or not those durations can be
renewed/reserved?

How does it sound like?
