+Copy Alerts and Suppression Matrix
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The Copy Alerts feature allows library staff to add customized alert
+messages to copies. The copy alerts will appear when a specific event
+takes place, such as when the copy is checked in, checked out, or
+renewed. Alerts can be temporary or persistent: temporary alerts will be
+disabled after the initial alert and acknowledgement from staff, while
+persistent alerts will display each time the alert event takes place.
+Copy Alerts can be configured to display at the circulating or owning
+library only or, alternatively, when the library at which the alert
+event takes place is not the circulating or owning library.  Copy Alerts
+can also be configured to provide options for the next copy status that
+should be applied to an item.  Library administrators will have the
+ability to create and customize Copy Alert Types and to suppress copy
+alerts at specific org units.
+
+Copy alerts can be added via the volume/creator and the check in,
+check out, and renew pages.  Copy alerts can also be managed at the
+item status page.
+
+Copy alert types can be managed via the Copy Alert Types page in
+Local Administration, and suppression of them can be adminstered
+via the Copy Alert Suppression page under Local Administration.
