Description Nicole C. Engard 2012-06-27 19:46:30 UTC
We are puzzling over the possibility of limiting the number of certain items
that a student may check out over the course of their whole semester. So,
currently we have a limit of 10 ILL items at a time, but they could return
those 10 and get 10 more. What if we wanted to create limits on item types that
affect a time period. So, effectively, the limit would be 10 ILL items at a
time AND 20 ILL items over the course of a semester.

We now have a daily limit on the number of holds a patron can place. This goes the same direction but with the added difficulty of having a user defined date range as a base.
Comment 2 Donna 2021-01-12 23:27:00 UTC
With more libraries circulating Hotspots, which are meant for occasional use, this would be a helpful enhancement.  Having a way to set the circ rule so that patrons are limited to xx number of circulations for a specific item type within a period of xx days would be excellent (similar to the newish functionality of limiting the number of purchase suggestions within a time frame).
Comment 3 Daniel Gaghan 2023-02-27 21:59:00 UTC
+1 to this. We would like the option of having a max number of check-outs per day, with a total number of checkouts at a time. So the rules would look something like this. 

5 max checkouts per day, 50 total checkouts at a time.
