Add Fulfillment "Hold Shelf Period" option for total days (rather than only offering open days)
An Alma Institution might have more than one library, and those libraries may have different operating calendars (such as, a branch library may only be open 5 days a week, while, the main library may be open 7 days a week).
It would be more consistent for that institution's patrons if it was possible to have the option to set the "Hold Shelf Period" to be for total days, rather than only having the option for "open days."
Similarly for institutions in a consortium using the AFN, where there are consortially mandated policies for linked users, being able to set the "Hold Shelf Period" in the linked user group TOUs to total days would provide consistency of hold shelf life expectation across consortial members.
"Open Days" should remain an option for the policy; but being able to add total days could be helpful.

If "Total Days" could be added as an option for the hold shelf period, it would provide consistency across consortial member institutions.
