Configure Autorenewals

Autorenewals are configured in Administration → Server Administration → Circulation Duration Rules.

Enter the number of automatic renewals allowed in the new field called max_auto_renewals. The field called max_renewals will still set the maximum number of manual renewals, whether staff or patron initiated. Typically, the max_renewals value will be greater than max_auto_renewals, so that even if no more autorenewals are allowed, a patron may still renew via the OPAC.

Autorenewals in Circulation Duration Rules

The Circulation Duration Rule can then be applied to specific circulation policies (Administration → Local Administration → Circulation Policies) to implement autorenewals in Evergreen.
