Highlights

Reports keep improving! Plus, there's an addition to the Declare Checked Out Copies Lost utility.



Open Links in New Window

We’ve added some nifty new selections to the Declare Checked Out Copies Lost utility!

Choose which patron policies to include or exclude from a list. (This is called an Advanced Selection. Learn how they work!) With that selection, you can declare everything still checked out as lost except for items teachers still have.

Also, you can enter a “days overdue” range.

All four of the holds reports have been moved to their own category. Along with that, we cleaned up formatting and added the remainder of title (MARC tag 245_b) to the report outputs.

And as promised, we’ve got even more exciting updates to Reports. Take a look at the Reports section below for details!

Now you can choose to send email notices to only the Primary Email or all emails on a patron's record for the following notice reports. That way, you can make sure both patrons and parents/guardians get a notice if necessary.



Tip

We've added a lot of cool new features over the year.
