Fine table
Contents
On the User properties tab, which is present when you have selected a new or existing user for an Adloan Circulation application in the Application browser, you specify a fine table that must be used for this location, if the standard tables are not applicable. If a transaction requires a fine table that has not been defined for the location, then Adloan Circulation will use the standard fine tables, as specified under Default values.

Enter a unique name for this table of fines.
Enter the number of "overdue" time units (days or hours) after which the fine should be applied. Whether days or hours are calculated, cannot be set here: you'll have to do that in the running Adlib Loans Management application, per loan category - see the Loans module guide for more information.
The table allows you to provide multiple Day-Amount definitions.
Enter the fine amount (usually in cents) that must be calculated after the given period. You may only use whole numbers. The monetary unit to be used is implicitly determined by conventional practice of the library, and is not set in the system. You could also agree to work with penalty points, for example.
