Description Nicole C. Engard 2016-01-06 16:12:07 UTC
This development will add a way to restrict holds for patrons who are at or over their circulation limit by:

* Creating a new system preference “IncludeCheckoutsInHoldsAllowedCount” ( or something similar )
    
* When enabled, Koha will add a patron’s count of current checkouts to the count of current holds to determine if the patron has exceeded the maximum number of holds allowed as defined by the “Holds allowed ( count )” field in the issuing rule for that library/patron/itemtype combination.
