The Patrons with No Email and Patrons with No Picture reports have been combined into one: Patrons Missing Information.
Removed repetitive options from the Current Patron and Current Item Actions menus.
Now, if you’re nearing your record limit, a warning will show in the transaction log.
Added notices for expiring licenses! Starting when your license expiration is 90 days away, you’ll get periodic reminders in Circulation.
If Guided Reading is your preferred study program, it will now properly display in the Current Item pane.
To improve clarity, the Lookup commands now require a space between the command and the lookup term. In other words, to find Jayson, you have to type "l jayson". This gets rid of ambiguity like "landerson", which you would think might let you look up Anderson, but it would actually perform a search across all sites for "nderson". This includes the following commands:
In-Transit from Current Site and In-Transit to Current Site reports:
Added an option to include “all” or “just late in arrival” items. Because of this, the two “late in arriving” versions of these reports were moved to the Legacy category.
Added an option to show the creation date or expected arrival date (also applies to the In-Transit Holds for Current Site report).
Cleaned up some general formatting.
Current Site Overdue ILL Information and Other Sites Overdue ILL Information reports:
Renamed Current Site Overdue ILL Information to Interlibrary Loans - Overdue at Current Site.
Renamed Other Sites Overdue ILL Information to Interlibrary Loans - Overdue at Other Sites.
Renamed the 1 Line with Charges format to Brief and cleaned up formatting.
Combined all Detailed formats into one and cleaned up formatting.
Note
Only those with a Centralized Catalog have access to the in-transit reports.
Selections: 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.
Options: Choose whether you want to Charge Lost Fees & Overdue Fines or Charge Lost Fees Only.
