Resource Policies

Resource Policies (Admin > Resource Policies) let you set up limitations for the circulation of your resources.

You can configure due dates for your textbooks by setting up "Class Loan periods" and/or "Interval Loan periods".

Set up policies for your resources by:

  • Defining loan periods.
  • Assigning loan periods to your resources.
  • Determining which resource types your patron types can check out.

 

You can create class or interval loan periods.

Note: Destiny alerts you when a checkout violates one of the defined policies. When it does, a message appears, indicating the resource policy that the checkout violates. You must override it before continuing with the transaction.

Important: By default, all of your resource types have the System Default loan period.
