Self Booking rules

The SELF BOOKING rules option in Admin Corner allows you to view the rules that allow an item to be self-booked. This option also displays the public-access functions that offer the self-booking option and the maximum number of self-bookings allowed per patron.

The system will only allow self-booking of a particular type of record if it matches all rules for that record type.

If a record fails a rule, the message shown in parentheses on the last line of that rule displays to the patron and the self-booking request is refused.

For example, if an item record's I TYPE field is "86" and the STATUS field is not 'm' (MISSING) or 'r' (IN REPAIR), rules 2 and 3 allow the self-booking request. If the I TYPE field is anything other than "86" or the STATUS field is 'm' or 'r', the system refuses the self-booking and displays the message This item cannot be booked.
