Prevent creation of holds in response to ILL message

In NCIP processing, the hold request is created in response to the ItemRequested message used by ILL. This is early in the ILL process, and the hold request cannot be canceled or modified in Polaris. Some library systems may prefer to prevent the immediate creation of the hold request.

To prevent an automatic hold request to be placed in response to the ItemRequested message:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder at the System level only, and select the Request tabbed page in the details view.
2. Double-click NCIP: Use unlocked hold request,and select No.

3. Select File > Save or press Ctrl+S to save the setting.
