Question
Is it possible to have circulation fines for overdue items calculated in the following way?
$1 per hour during library open hours
and
$5 maximum per day
and
$30 maximum in total
So, for example, a patron could have an overdue item for 6 days, but only have a $5 max per day, adding up to a total of $30 maximum, but each overdue hour still calculated at $1.
Answer
By specifying Fine Method #1 in tab16, column 14, you can have an hourly fine assessed for open hours only.
Tab16, column 23, is the maximum fine (total).
But there is no way to specify a per-day maximum.
