Charges include the end result of overdue fines, lost or damaged fees, and manually-charged amounts. Overdue fines continuously accumulate until items are returned. Once the item is returned, the fine becomes a charge. Use(s)Librarians and teachers can run this report to get notices for students in a particular group or class who have overdue items and/or unpaid charges. Consider creating some Saved Reports that automatically send out this report: - Set up some Saved Reports that periodically email these notices to staff for them to distribute in person or through mail. There are notice formats for students or parents.
- Set up a Saved Report that emails students or parents directly when they have overdue items and/or unpaid charges.
Selections
Fine or Charge Balance: Enter the fine/charge range for which you want to send out notices. Note that this selection looks at individual charges rather than a patron's total balance. This means that someone with three 50¢ charges that total $1.50 won't receive a notice since each charge is under the $1.00 (if you set $1.00 as the minimum amount). Also, overdue items with fines not included in the selected amount won't be included in notices. | Options
With the Email format, you can choose whether to send the notice to only Primary Emails or all emails on selected patrons' records. This allows you to notify both patrons and parents/guardians if necessary.
