Hi Jordan, You can have different thresholds, but they only apply and appear at the branch or system where they are configured. See Benjamin's in his original email - because these two branches have the group penalty configured on the branch level, if a patron has a lost item at branch A, the penalty only applies at Branch A. Staff logged in at Branch B would not see the penalty message.
As Erica said, the threshold would have to be configured only at the System Level to be honored at both locations, or at the consortium level to have it honored across the whole consortium. Bibliomation libraries decided that the flexibility of having their own thresholds was more important, but ideally would like to be able to see and honor blocks from other libraries. We do have a block of 1 lost item at the consortium level. Jessica On Tue, Nov 16, 2021 at 11:12 AM Aubrey Area Library < [email protected]> wrote: > I thought this was a thing.
