Tinycat circulation dates

Hello,
I'm trying to get a handle on moving our library's collection over to TinyCat. I see for patron circulation that it's up to 60 days, but we operate with longer lending terms than that - I notice the lending section on LibraryThing has an 'other' option where I can type the circulation limit. Does TinyCat offer the same and I'm just not seeing it? How does the LibraryThing lending field integrate (or does it) with the TinyCat circulation fields (.i. if I change one will it register with the other?)
Cheers
Dónall

While we don't have default circulation period options that go beyond 60 days (we actually just extended them from 28 days), you can select your specific due date/s as needed when you check items in/out on LibraryThing or TinyCat's end.

LibraryThing's "Lending" field does integrate with your TinyCat, such that the most recent lending status will show up in LT's "Lending" field and if you enter data on one end (LibraryThing or TinyCat) you can see it on the other end.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
