Tip for: 03.12.18
Sometimes a class can’t make it to the library to renew their books because of a field trip, an assembly, or so on. Can you renew all of their books at once? Certainly!
What you will do is not exactly renewing; you will use a utility to change the due date for them.
To Change Due Date in v7
- Open Utilities and go to the Circulation category.
- Select the Change Due Date utility.
- Under the Selection tab, set the Patrons from Homeroom.
- You can also set the Items Due On to only change due dates for items due today.
- Under the Options tab, set the New Due Date to the new date you want their items due.
- Run the utility.
- Note how many patrons will be modified before continuing.
- Check the summary (info) file from Operation Management once the utility is finished.
To Fix Due Date in v6
- Open Tools > Utilities and go to the Circulation category.
- Select the Fix Due Date utility.
- Under the Selection tab, add a Selection for Patron Homeroom.
- You can also add a selection for Due Date to select items due today.
- Set the To Date to the new date you want their items due.
- Run the utility.
