Many libraries in my system lend DVDs out for a shorter period than their normal checkout period, like 2 days versus 14 or 21 days for other items. They also charge larger fines on DVDs than other items. They would like to be able to generate overdue notices for DVDs on the first day overdue, unlike the first notice generation of 7 days on their other items. So this is an enhancement request to allow libraries to generate an overdue notice for a particular item type separate from the three notice triggers.
This is standard behavior now, right?
Right now we can only set the overdue notices by patron category, but we can't differentiate by item type. I think this is still valid.
Here in 2017 still wishing for greater flexibility for overdue notices based on Item Type, not only Patron Category -- in our case (school library) for better communication about items on Reserve (in our case loan period is 2 hours).

This is important in our consortium of mainly public libraries as our Library of Things (LoT) items go out for shorter periods of time and are overdue on a different time schedule to regular items like books. We would like overdues to be based on item type not just patron type. We also have one college member library in our consortium and their items go out on for different time periods again based on Item type not just patron type.
