Enabling INN-Reach Patrons to Specify a Not-Needed-After Date
To enable patrons to specify a not-needed-after date in the WebPAC, your Central System Administrator must:
- Set the [NNA Date] element of the REQUEST Web option to "TRUE".
- Verify that the <!--{ifneedNNA}--> token block is present in the Request Verification customizable Web form.
The not-needed-after date specified by the patron is retained throughout the INN-Reach circulation process and is used as follows:
- Staff can view the date; for example, when viewing outstanding holds or when viewing the Holds tab in the patron record.
- Patrons can view the date in the View Your Patron Record feature in the WebPAC.
- If your INN-Reach System has enabled the "Automatic Cancelling of Expired INN-Reach Holds" feature, patron sites can automatically cancel INN-Reach holds not filled by the not-needed-after date.
- If your Local Server has acquired the Pass2ILL for INN-Reach product, the not-needed-after date is included in the information forwarded to your ILL department when the owning site cancels the hold without re-request, or cancels it with re-request but the system cannot identify another item for paging.
