On the "only allowed one circ modifier" - One rule that says
"Circulate: False" without a circ modifier, then one with the circ
modifier that says "Circulate True" should handle it fine in most
circumstances.

Geoff,
There's some documentation that should be valid up to 2.1 available here:
http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:customization:indb-circ
I'll also take a stab at answering your specific questions. Caveat:
my understanding and experience is from EG 2.1 and I know there have
been some changes:
If I have a general circulation policy(applies to all users) and a
policy restricting a single user group will it properly select the
policy meant for that single user group when the case comes up?
Yes, but you may need to configure your circulation weights to give
user group a higher priority if the default weights aren't working
for you.
If I want to restrict a user group from checking out all but a single
circulation modifier would that require a separate policy for each
modifier, or is there any easier method of setting that up?
The rules use an "deny all, then allow what we specify" strategy so
there's currently not a "deny" option. So I think you would have to
specify a separate policy for each circ modifier if you need to be
able to deny (or more accurately, not permit) one from being
circulated.
Hope that helps,
Chris

Subject: [OPEN-ILS-DEV] Circulation Policies Configuration Screen
I am currently working on transferring circ policies to in-DB and was
hoping I could find some insight into how the information is
processed so that I enter the information correctly. I can?t seem to
find any documentation anywhere for how the in-DB setup works or
what every field is intended for. I was wondering if anyone had any
helpful guides on this particular setup.
I suppose some specific questions would also be useful:
If I have a general circulation policy(applies to all users) and a
policy restricting a single user group will it properly select the
policy meant for that single user group when the case comes up?
If I want to restrict a user group from checking out all but a single
circulation modifier would that require a separate policy for each
modifier, or is there any easier method of setting that up?
I may have more questions on this, I am really just starting to get
this going. Any help would be greatly appreciated. You all have been
great to me!
Thanks,
Geoff Sams
