Account Expiring Notice

 Textbook Tracker

Emails patrons whose accounts are expiring in the next 30 days

This report will only work if you have enabled account expiration dates (Preferences > Patrons > Patron Rules > uncheck Disable account expiration dates) and configured your Email Preferences.

Patrons need a valid email address on their record to receive email notifications. Not sure who's missing an email? Run the Patrons with No Email report to get a list.

Use(s)

Create a saved report that's scheduled to automatically run once a month so that patrons are always notified of their cards expiring.
