RE: [IUG] Loan Rules table

["Card, Sandra" <scard at exchange dot calstatela dot edu>]

I remember learning it during implementation.  I checked the current
documentation, and although there are notes warning about changing a loan
rule when it is in operation, I didn't find anything about not deleting it,
or about not inserting a new rule.  Maybe I was looking in the wrong place,
but this is the sort of thing that should be prominently displayed in the
manual.

Wow!  Thanks to all for the replies!  We won't delete any loan rules in our
table! Now I'm curious to know - did folks learn this by example and why
couldn't I find a huge note in the documentation?  Did I miss it?

Better yet, learn from our mistakes and name the empty loan rules "DO NOT
DELETE".

Do not delete any loan rules from your table. It will move all loan rules
following this one up by one. In your example, your 21 will be your new 20,
22 becomes 21, 23 becomes 22, etc.

What would be best is to rename the loan rule you will not be using. We
renamed ours to say "---void" but it could just be "---" or probably even
just <blank>.

I have found it this useful when I've needed to add related loan rules and
I've reused "voided" loan rules. The only other issue is to be sure that the
loan rule you want to decommission is not being used by any items still
checked out. There are many ways to ensure this.

Hope this helps,

We are in the process of updating our loan rules and I have a question that
I cannot seem to find an answer for in the documentation.
 
Let's say I have 25 loan rules defined in my loan rule table.  If I delete a
loan rule from the table, say, #20, will the table have a blank loan rule,
or will it renumber the rules that have been added after, for example,
making #21 the new #20?
 
Thanks for any information....!
