Update Hard Due Date
New Hard Due Date

Academic libraries may wish to use hard due dates to truncate due dates at the end of a semester, or allow particular material to go out for an entire semester. Hard due dates make an item’s due date either earlier or later than usual, depending on the library’s requirement.

Parameters for the hard due date rules are established with circulation policies (see New Hard Due Date for how to create a hard due date and set its parameters).

Library staff do not have permissions to add or edit hard due date rules, and must send their requests to Support. See http://docs.libraries.coop/sitka/_hard_due_date.html

Update Hard Due Date

When updating an existing hard due date rule, you must update the ceiling date display and then add a new hard due date value.

Edit Ceiling Date

Go to Administration → Server Administration → Hard Due Date Changes
Check the checkbox of the rule you want to edit
Click Actions → Edit Selected
Enter the Current Ceiling Date
Click Save

Add New Hard Due Date Value

Click Values
Click New Hard Due Date Values
Enter the Active Date
Enter the Ceiling Date
Click Save

Note

Libraries cannot submit all the hard due dates for the year. Using the active/ceiling date to enter all the dates for fall, winter, and summer terms will not automatically roll the date over.
