OVERVIEW
Periodically you may need to add a calendar exception when your library is forced to close due to inclement weather or other emergency. Adding this close exception will bump any due dates during that period to the next open date.
Adding an exception
1) Check your terms of use
You may need to check several different TOUs to make sure "Closed Library Due Date Management" is set to "move to the next open day" :
2) Update calendar – on the institution level
Alma config - select [Library] - Fulfillment - Opening hours - Add Record
Record Type: Exception
Status: Closed
Day of Week : [n/a]
Description: can be blank, but it's helpful to put something here (e.g. COVID-19 closure)
Valid from: First day of closure
Valid to: Last day of closure
From hour: leave blank; Alma will assign default value of 00:00 (12:00 am)
To hour: leave blank; Alma will assign default value of 23:59 (11:59 pm)
3) Important! Select "Apply Changes"
(Even if you have saved the dates you must select “Apply Changes”. )
4) Check your Fulfillment Jobs Configuration to see if you have automated the job:
5) Once calendar changes are applied, the "Loans - Due Date Correction after Calendar Change" job will run at the scheduled time. This will change any due dates that fall during the closure period to the next open day.
