Most options under the Server Administration menu are global Sitka settings that cannot be changed locally. The exception includes the call number prefix/suffix, and the Organizational Units submenu, which allows Local System Administrators to edit library contact information, hours of operation, and addresses.
There is some view-only information that is useful under Server Administration, in particular the list of Item Statuses.
Age based hold protection enables libraries to block holds from being filled for patrons from other libraries or branches until the item has been active for a specified amount of time.
The following age based hold protection rules can be used when applying age based hold protection item attributes.
| Item Age | Rule Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 month | 1_month_among_multi_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning library/system for 1 month from the item’s active date. |
3 months | 3_month_among_multi_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning library/system for 3 month from the item’s active date. |
6 months | 6_month_among_multi_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning library/system for 6 month from the item’s active date. |
9 months | 9_month_among_multi_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning library/system for 9 month from the item’s active date. |
1 year | 12_month_among_multi_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning library/system for 1 year from the item’s active date. |
1 month | 1_month_within_single_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning branch for 1 month from the item’s active date. |
3 months | 3_month_within_single_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning branch for 3 month from the item’s active date. |
6 months | 6_month_within_single_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning branch for 6 month from the item’s active date. |
9 months | 9_month_within_single_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning branch for 9 month from the item’s active date. |
1 year | 12_month_within_single_branch | Block holds from being filled where the pickup library is not the owning branch for 1 year from the item’s active date. |
