Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Help on Circ. Matrix Weights if you can....
The weights are associated with org units based on the weights association table. The circulating library is the org unit for circ weights, I believe a global flag determines if the copy owning or circ library is the org unit for hold weights. Thomas Berezansky Merrimack Valley Library Consortium Quoting Tony Bandy to...@ohionet.org: Hi all, Working with one of our libraries on getting things to circulate properly, and I'm needing some background information on the Circ. Matrix Weights table--can you help? Specifically, my weights table has three lines: Default Org_Unit_First Item_Owner_First All_Equal Since all of these lines assign different numerical values to each of the categories, how or when is each applied? That is, which line of the 4 above is applied when configuring the weights on a checkout? All the documentation I can find talks generically about the weights but does not specifically say when or how each line is applied. Any ideas you can help with will be most appreciated.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron Opt-in configuration affecting circ retention
I believe the opt-in you found is different from circ retention. That looks like the patron has to opt-in to other libraries seeing their information stuff rather than circ history retention. There are global flags specifically for circ history retention, and user settings on top of that that (in 2.2 at least) override the global flags right now. The global flags thus serve as a default. Thomas Berezansky Merrimack Valley Library Consortium Quoting Jim Frey jf...@pls-net.org: Pioneer Library System is upgrading Evergreen to version 2.2 and I have some questions about the patron opt-in features, circulation anonymization, and library and global flag settings. I assume that when a patron opts in , he is giving permission for the system to retain his circulation history starting from the date of opting-in (which would be necessary in order to flag items in searches that have been previously checked out). In other words, if Evergreen were configured to retain a maximum of 10 (closed?) circs per patron ( global flag / history.circ.retention_count ), the limit would not apply to the patron after the opt-in start date. Nor would his circs be affected by the age limit (global flag / history.circ.retention_age ). The circ history of anyone who has not opted-in, however, would be scrubbed, and older circs would periodically be deleted from action.circulation and added to action.aged_circulation . Is this correct? There are several related library settings that need better explanation: ? Patron Opt-In Boundary ? Patron Opt-In Default I've read their descriptions but I don't follow the idea of 'depth' related to the opt-in process or org-units and workstations. I assume that history.circ.retention_age is a Postgres interval, such as '2 years'. I also assume that once history.circ.retention _age or history.circ.retention_count is set, the system will automatically start anonomyzing patron circs (daily?). Yes? Maybe? Please clarify.
