Description Christopher Brannon 2019-11-15 18:15:21 UTC
It would be great if there were a feature to limit the number of consecutive holds a person could place in X amount of days.  This would be an answer to those of us who have patrons hoarding items, just to have them.

Hi Christopher, can you explain this a bit more? Is this a variation of the daily hold limit or do you mean holds on the same record/item?
Comment 2 Christopher Brannon 2019-12-12 15:18:32 UTC
Let's say you place a hold on item A.  You set the preference to not allow consecutive holds on the same item for 30 days.  You would therefore not be able to place a hold on item A until 30 days has passed.  This would give other people a chance to queue up and prevent you from constantly keeping the item on hold.  It would also give the item a chance to sit on the shelf for people to see.

This is definitely different than the daily hold limit.  That just limits the holds in general.
