Advanced Bookings Preferences

SYSTEM Preference
Advanced Bookings greatly enhances Alexandria's reservations capabilities and is valuable when managing centralized media centers that process hundreds of requests each day. When you purchase an Advanced Bookings license, two distinct changes are made to Alexandria:
- The Advanced Bookings system preferences are activated; they allow you to configure email settings and customize reservation notices.
- Two new selections—Advanced Bookings and Process Pending Bookings—appear near the bottom of the Circulation window's primary Actions drop-down menu, allowing operators to access the Advanced Bookings window and associated capabilities.
To use Advanced Bookings, place a reservation as you normally would (see “Placing a Reservation”); patrons can place their own reservations or operators can place them at a central location.
- The Advanced Bookings system preferences can be opened after you have licensed use of Alexandria's Advanced Bookings feature.
- You should perform the Advanced Bookings process from the Circulation window once each day.
- You should also perform the Process Pending Bookings function to “catch” bookings that were not successfully processed.
Advanced Bookings influences each of the following areas:
- Preferences > Calendars
- Preferences > Policies
- Preferences > Researcher
- Circulation
- Site Management
- Web Settings
Advanced Bookings is an optional module activated by registration codes. You must purchase a separate license in order to use this feature. If you recently added Advanced Bookings to your existing user license, you must re-register your software before the functionality of the Advanced Bookings module becomes available.
