1.3. Standard Hold Configuration

Standard Hold Configuration

Holds Targeting with opportunistic capture at the pickup library of a hold.
The System creates a potentials list by:
- Excluding items that are age protected at other libraries
- Excluding items whose statuses aren’t holdable
  - By location
  - By copy
  - By status
- Limiting items by selection depth (if hard boundaries are being used)
- Excluding items at libraries that are closed (checking closed dates)
- Excluding items that are currently targeted for another hold
From the potentials list, the System identifies (targets) one specific copy, closest to the pickup library, that is eligible for a hold and places it on the hold pull list for capture.
The hold pull list is run at the library and the copy is pulled and captured for a hold OR the configurable time expires without capture and the system regenerates the potentials list and chooses another eligible copy and places it on the hold pull list for capture (re-targeting).

If an eligible copy is returned to the pickup library before the targeted copy is captured, that eligible copy will be captured for the hold first. (with stalling)
If an eligible copy is returned anywhere before the targeted copy is captured, that eligible copy will be captured for the hold first. (without stalling or after the stalling interval expires)
