How does Primo calculates specific Availability Status Codes

Question

Please sum up exactly in what situations (combinations of factors) the following two Calculated Availability Status Codes are used for:

default.delivery.code.unavailable_in_library
default.delivery.code.unavailable_in_institution

Out of the box value is: '' Checked out from {1}''

Answer

See: Primo Back Office Guide, In chapter: Getting Started : Primo Concepts, Components, and Relationships : Delivery Functionality and Configuration : Availability Status
Unavailable in library status:
If LIBRARY_AVAILBILITY is set to Y (system default) on the General Configuration (Delivery) page,
and the search scope is library-specific,
display this status if a physical item is not available in the specific library.

Unavailable in institution:
If INSTITUTION_AVAILBILITY is set to Y (system default) on the General Configuration (Delivery) page,
and the search scope is institution-specific,
display this status if a physical item is not available in the specific institution.


Example:
If an environment has both LIBRARY_AVAILBILITY is set to Y and INSTITUTION_AVAILBILITY is set to Y, check the specific view.
If the view has an institution specific scope - the relevant code that will be used is: unavailable_in_institution.
It will be used only if RTA will retrieve from the institution that the item is not available (based on the ILS configuration).
