I propose some changes to the issuing rules interface to improve usability:
- Better define and delineate the sub-sections on the page:
- Default checkout and hold policy
- Checkout limit by patron category
- Holds policy by item type
- Repeat the current library name, when selected, for clarity: "Default
checkout and hold policy for Athens" rather than "Default checkout and hold
policy for this library"
- Use the phrase "all libraries" when no library is selected. "Default
library" seems ambiguous. "All libraries" better defines how the rule will be
applied: to all libraries in the absence of a more specific rule.
