Patron limits can be set to block patron accounts when the limits have been reached.
Specific limits:
Max. cash – Maximum amount of cash that can be owed by the patron before the patron’s account is blocked. This is a required field.
Max. overdues – Maximum allowed overdue loans before the patron's account is blocked. If you define max. overdue = 1, the patron account is blocked only after there is more than one overdue loan. Setting max. overdue to 0 will block a patron with one overdue loan.
Max. bookings – Maximum number of bookings allowed before the patron’s account is blocked. This value does not include resource sharing requests.
Max. overdue recalls – Maximum number of overdue recalled items allowed before the patron’s account is blocked.
Max. digitization requests – Maximum number of digital item hold requests allowed before the patron’s account is blocked.
Max. physical item requests – Maximum number of concurrent active physical item hold requests allowed before the patron’s account is blocked.
