This setting allows you to select whether you want constant data records (Borrower Data and Lender Data) to be automatically applied to each request.
Note: Do not specify a Request Type in your default Borrower Constant Data. If a Request Type is present in the default constant data record, the persistence setting will overwrite the Request Type as it was initially submitted with the value specified in the default constant data. For example, if you see that your Request Type changes from a Loan to a Copy, you may have specified Copy as the Request Type in your default Browser Constant data.
To select a Persistence setting:
Ensure that the information in your DEFAULT record for Borrower Data or Lender Data contains information that will apply to most requests. Suggested fields to complete include:
Notes:
This setting allows you to select whether you want the system to look through your WorldCat knowledge base collections, when a patron submits a borrowing request or you process a lending request, to determine whether your library has electronic access to the requested item. When turned on, this setting will cause a link to appear in the Request Details accordion of a borrowing or lending request if the item is held by your library in the WorldCat knowledge base.
As a borrower, when this setting is turned on, and the following is true: a patron submits a request, the request matches an automation, and the requested item is held by your library, as indicated by your holdings in the WorldCat knowledge base, then the request is routed to your New for Review queue and a link to the item is included in the Request Details accordion. See Automated Request Manager for more information.
As a lender, when this setting is turned on, when you receive a lending request, and the requested item is held by your library, as indicated by your holdings in WorldCat knowledge base, you will see a link to the item in the Request Details accordion.
Note: You should only turn on the Knowledge Base Active Link setting only if your library has already added metadata about its electronic collections to the WorldCat knowledge base and set your ILL License terms.
