Summary
An Innovative-applied setting to allow extending Not Needed After (NNA) dates.
Solution
When library facilities must close for an extended time due to emergency, there could be a need for staff to extend the Not Needed After (NNA) dates so that patron activity is not disrupted.
Innovative has created a script ready to be installed on Sierra systems that will perform this function. Please open a ticket through the Supportal and let us know if you are requesting:
- all NNA dates prior to some particular future date to be updated to that particular date, or...
- all NNA dates prior to some particular future date to be updated to that date plus some additional offset number of days, further in the future
Also, we will need to know how many days into the future that holds with NNA dates should be updated and if additional days should be added to NNA from there. For example: "We want to update holds with an NNA date expiring 30 days from now to that future date (5/1/2020) OR "...update holds with an NNA date expiring 30 days from now and add 31 days on top of that date (6/1/2020)"
