Overdue Items and Unpaid Charges Notice

Generates notices for patrons with overdue items and/or unpaid charges

Charges include the end result of overdue fines, lost or damaged fees, and manually-charged amounts. Overdue fines continuously accumulate until items are returned. Once the item is returned, the fine becomes a charge.

Use(s)

Librarians and teachers can run this report to get notices for students in a particular group or class who have overdue items and/or unpaid charges. Consider creating some Saved Reports that automatically send out this report:

  • Set up some Saved Reports that periodically email these notices to staff for them to distribute in person or through mail. There are notice formats for students or parents.
  • Set up a Saved Report that emails students or parents directly when they have overdue items and/or unpaid charges.
Selections

Fine or Charge Balance: Enter the fine/charge range for which you want to send out notices. Note that this selection looks at individual charges rather than a patron's total balance. This means that someone with three 50¢ charges that total $1.50 won't receive a notice since each charge is under the $1.00 (if you set $1.00 as the minimum amount). Also, overdue items with fines not included in the selected amount won't be included in notices.

This report now includes a Title selection.
