Use fine limit if
the copy price
has not been
entered
The fine limit is the most money a
patron can be charged for a single
copy. If this is selected, and you
choose to show the copy price on
Notices, then the fine limit also
appears on Notices if no copy price
is specified.
In addition, if this is selected, the
fine limit is used when you create a
lost copy fine if there is no price.
No predetermined fine is charged for
a lost copy. You type the amount you
want charged at the time the lost copy
fine is created.
Note: Currency format changes are defined in Windows from the Control Panel |
Regional Settings Properties | Currency tab. On Mac OS, you change the
currency format through the Numbers Control Panel.
Customizing your overdue, bill, and ready hold notices
When you print out a notice, the message at the top of the notice states the reason
you are sending the notice and the urgency with which the recipient should treat
it. Circulation Plus allows you to customize the message. For example, you might
want your overdue notices to include a special message before the summer break
to make sure that all of your overdue items are returned before the break begins.
When Reports creates a notice, it takes the wording that appears at the top of the
notice from a notice template. Circulation Plus comes with three standard
templates. To create your own notice templates and to edit those templates when
needed, use the following instructions.
