Global flag to block specific patron status

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph

Description:
We'd like to set a global block such that a specific patron status is blocked. We want the circulation operator prompted to make a determination about the patron. We are splitting patrons currently lumped into one status into several statuses.

Resolution:
There are three possibilities for setting these blocks:

(1) Individually, in the GUI

(2) via the PLIF; see the "USER-REC-DELINQ" in the "How to Use the Patron Loader Interface - PLIF (file-20)" document; you set one of the three specific delinquency fields;

(3) via SQL.

Hopefully between 1 and 2 you can do what you want. If you feel you need to do SQL and need help, let us know.
