> Full version :
> http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2:rfc32_circ_policies
>
>
> Synopsis:
>
> The issuingrules table and smart-rules.pl interface currently mix
> definition of circulation policy with definition of when those
> policies should be applied. This proposal suggests two distinct
> interfaces for these operations.
> Details
>
> The issuingrules table currently holds performs two discrete functions:
>
>   1.  it holds data describing circulation & fines policy, i.e. loan
> length, maxissues, fine, etc.
>   2.  it describes which transactions should cause those policies to
> be applied.
>
> This RFC proposes that these two data sets be represented in two new
> tables in the Koha database, circ_rules and circ_policies, which would
> supercede the issuingrules table (i.e. issuingrules will be dropped).
>
> Benefits:
>
>   1.  Database normalization. as described above.
>   2.  Simplifies interface for those libraries that have many
> itemtype & borrower categories.
>   3.  Simplifies future enhancements, allowing us to attach other
> types of policies to a given transaction context, e.g. adding a
> holds_policies table.
>
> Drawbacks:
>
>   1. Having the Policies described on a separate page than where they
> are assigned adds a level of complexity to assignment.
>
> This drawback is addressed by including in smart_rules.pl  a  'policy
> lookup' allowing the user to look up
> any available circ policies, as well as an on-hover display of a
> policy in the rules display.  (see screenshot).
>
> Database changes:
>
>    *  circ_rules will include branchcode, itemtype, categorycode and
> circ_policies_id (and circ_termset_id, see rfc: term loans)
>    *  circ_policies will include remaining columns from issuingules,
> with some cleanup.
>
> The patch set will include an updatedatabase patch that will extract
> repeated policies from the issuingrules table, name them in English
> with an appropriate description, and assign those policies to the
> circ_rules table.
>
> Please see wiki page for screenshot of interface.
