The holds per record value should not be allowed to be zero if holds allowed is set to 1 or greater. If holds per record has a value of zero, a hold can't be placed on that Patron/Item regardless of what value the holds allowed is set to. To test: * Create a rule with holds allowed set to any number greater than zero and holds per record set to zero * Try to place a hold on an item. Note that you are not allowed. * Change the rule to allow 1 hold per record. * Try to place a hold again on an item. This time the hold is allowed. The rules make sense as they are, but it doesn't make sense to give holds allowed a value, and then have holds per record contradict it. Christopher
