Did you add a limit group, circ mod, or copy location to the limit
set? Without those it doesn't have any way to count copies.
Quoting Lindsay Stratton <[email protected]>:
I am trying to set up what would seem to me to be a very simple
circulation limit set, but I cannot make it work. I am probably
missing something very elementary, hive mind, help me, please!
Our org structure is very flat: 1 consortia, 42 libraries. Each
library shares the patron and item databases, there are many shared
policies (circ, holds, fines, etc), but each library is it's own
entity and some of them are more individualized than others.
For this limit set, I have 1 library that wants to limit the number
of it's own video materials, checked out from that library. No other
library should be impacted by this limit set. Ideally, no other
owning library's video materials should impacted when checking out
from the limiting library (to minimize use of the override when
handling in-coming hold request video items in case of existing
checkouts.)
I have added this as:
Owning library = GPL
Items Out = 7
Min Depth = 1 (this is confusing to me - documentation only
specifies to use 0 when limiting your lib's materials at all other
libraries... But, NOTHING I enter here makes a difference)
Global = False
The library has 2 circulation policies for the circulation modifier
for two different user groups. I have attached the limit set to
both. I have variously selected and de-selected Fallthrough
(fallthrough to what, though?) In the database, can see that the
circ limits are there and linked to the circ rules. But I can keep
on checking out supposedly limited materials.
We are currently running 2.7.5. We upgraded last month, and I last
attempted limit sets in version 2.2, where I was able to implement
the circ limits - although it did not discriminate based on item
owning library.
Thoughts?
