Homeroom 

You can now view student pictures on the Homeroom tab by selecting the "pictures" box at the bottom. 

In addition, we added two columns: 

  • Items out, which is the total number of items the patron has checked out
  • Today, which lists the number of books checked out that day

Image Added

Items Out 

The Items Out tab now includes the date the item was checked out. 

Image Added

Columns

Information in the tabs like Charges have been broken up into columns to make them easier to read. 

Image Added

Copy Statistic Dialog

The copy statistics dialogs in Circulation and Items were combined.
