Request Parameters Reference

These parameters are available on the Parameters, Request tabbed page on the Administration Explorer, at the listed organizational levels.

Note:
If your library has a license for INN-Reach integration with Polaris, three additional parameters are available for managing INN-Reach. See Set INN-Reach Request Parameters in Polaris Administration.

Parameter	Org Level	Description
Borrow by mail	Designate processing centers at the System level. Other settings are available at the System, Library, and Branch levels.	These settings control Polaris Borrow by Mail, a licensed feature. See Define Borrow by Mail parameters.
Hold options	Some options can be set at the System level only.	These settings control holds processing in Polaris. See Holds Processing Overview.
ILL options	You can set most ILL options at the System, Library, or Branch level. Applies to Leap. If either or both of the Enable check boxes are checked (PAC requests or Staff requests), the ILL option appears in the More menu in Leap. If both Enable check boxes are not checked, the ILL option does not appear in the menu.	These settings control ILL processing in Polaris. See Setting Up ILL Requests.
ILL: Computer designated for sending OCLC/ILL direct requests	System	The Polaris Application Server handles ILL direct requests to OCLC. Your existing application server is the default entry. If your application server name changes, enter the new Polaris Application Server name in this parameter. See Setting Up ILL Requests.
NCIP: Use unlocked hold requests	System	In NCIP processing, the hold request is created in response to the ItemRequested message used by ILL. This is early in the ILL process, and the hold request cannot be canceled or modified in Polaris. Some library systems may prefer to prevent the immediate creation of the hold request. See Prevent creation of holds in response to ILL message
Web App: Use patron's preferred branch for multiple holds from record set	System, Library, and Branch	This setting determines if the Patron's Preferred Location option appears in the Pickup list when you request a single title for multiple patrons in Leap. See "Request the Same Title for Multiple Patrons" in the Leap help.
