4 indexterm:[Global Flags]
6 Evergreen uses Global Flags to set certain elements that are global across an Evergreen instance. Unlike Library Settings, Global Flags cannot hold different values for different libraries.
8 The Global Flags interface is found under *Administration -> Server Administration -> Global Flags*.
10 The table below is sorted in alphabetical order according to the _Name_ column. The _Other Information_ column contains links to a bug, release notes, commit message, or documentation, as applicable for that particular global flag.
12 == Global Flags Details ==
16 |Name|Label|Enabled (Default)|Value (Default)|Notes|Other Information
17 |auth.block_expired_staff_login |Block the ability of expired user with
18 the STAFF_LOGIN permission to log into Evergreen. |No | |If this flag is
19 enabled, accounts that have the STAFF_LOGIN permission and whose
20 expiration date is in the past are prevented from logging into any
21 Evergreen interface, including the staff client, the public catalog, and
22 SIP2. Regular non-staff patrons are allowed to log into the public
23 catalog with expired accounts.

33 |circ.desk_renewal.use_original_circ_lib |Circ: Use original circulation
34 library on desk renewal instead of the workstation library |No | |Left
35 disabled, the workstation library's circulation/renewal policy will be
36 used, rather than the user's home/original library circulation/renewal
37 policy during a staff client (desk) renewal. By default, a desk renewal
38 looks at the policies of the workstation library performing the renewal.
41 |circ.holds.empty_issuance_ok |Holds: Allow holds on empty issuances
42 |Yes | |holds on predicted but not-yet received items |
44 |circ.holds.retarget_interval |Holds Retarget Interval |Yes |24h |

47 |circ.holds.usr_not_requestor |Holds: When testing hold matrix
48 matchpoints, use the profile group of the receiving user instead of that
49 of the requestor (affects staff-placed holds) |Yes | |
50 |https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1473576[bug 1473576]
52 |circ.opac_renewal.use_original_circ_lib |Circ: Use original circulation
53 library on opac renewal instead of user home library |No | |Left
54 disabled, the user's home library circulation/renewal policy will be
55 used, rather than the original circulation library's circulation/renewal
56 policy during an OPAC renewal. By default, an OPAC renewal looks at the
57 policies of the user's home library. |
59 |history.circ.retention_age |Historical Circulation Retention Age |Yes |
60 |Determines the timeframe for aging circulations based on transaction
61 age. If you want your users to be able to retain their circulation
62 history and view it in the OPAC, then click True, and set a global
63 maximum. The maximum is a length of time entered in double quotes, such
64 as "1 year". Beginning the day that you set it and each day for a year
65 forward in time, the circs will be saved. This setting is the default
66 for your entire network. If you don’t want patrons to be able to retain
67 their circulation history, then set this to false. If value is not set,
68 it will default to forever - Note: if you scope in the value of aged
69 circulations they still exist just anonymized. There isn't a feature to
70 delete circs at any point, you'd have to go in and do it with a custom
71 script. |xref:admin:aged_circs.adoc#_global_flags[Aging Circulations]
73 |history.circ.retention_age_is_min |Historical Circulations are kept for
74 global retention age at a minimum, regardless of user preferences. |No |
75 |This flag is no longer useful, since user circ history no longer needs
76 to prevent circs from being aged to be complete. |xref:admin:aged_circs.adoc#_global_flags[Aging Circulations]
78 |history.circ.retention_count |Historical Circulations per Copy |Yes |
79 |This flag is about aging circs to anonymize them. |xref:admin:aged_circs.adoc#_global_flags[Aging Circulations]
81 |history.circ.retention_uses_last_finished |Historical Circulations use
82 most recent xact_finish date instead of last circ's. |No | |This flag is
83 about aging circs to anonymize them. |xref:admin:aged_circs.adoc#_global_flags[Aging Circulations]
85 |history.hold.retention_age |Historical Hold Retention Age |Yes |
86 |Determines the timeframe to retain holds information. Purged holds are
87 moved to the action.aged_hold_request table with patron identifying
88 information scrubbed, much like circulations are moved to
89 action.aged_circulation. The settings allow for a default retention age
90 as well as distinct retention ages for holds filled, holds canceled, and
91 holds canceled by specific cancel causes. The most specific one wins
92 unless a patron is retaining their hold history. In the latter case the
93 patron’s holds are retained either way. Note that the function still
94 needs to be called, which could be set up as a cron job or done more
95 manually, say after statistics collection. Script, purge_holds.srfsh,
96 can be used to purge holds from cron. |https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.5/_administration.html[Release Notes] - located under "Purge Holds"

153 files with this compression, on a scale of 0 (no compression) to 9
154 (maximum compression), or -1 for the zlib default. |Yes |0 |Accepts a
155 numeric value from 0 (no compression) to 9 (most compression). The
