    Question

    How can I set the default in the GUI for 'Need By Date' in Borrowing requests?

    Is there a possibility to set the default for the "Need by Date" to today's date + 7? 

    Answer

    The 'Need By Date' can be set in the ILL configuration file 

     

    .\ill\tab\ill.ini 
    [GetDefaultValue] 
    NeedByDate=[number of days from current date] 


    For a default of 7 days, set it like this: 

    .\ill\tab\ill.ini 
    [GetDefaultValue] 
    NeedByDate=7
