Circulation Makeover
Additional Changes to Circulation
Homeroom
You can now view student pictures on the Homeroom tab by selecting the "pictures" box at the bottom.
In addition, two columns were added:
- 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
Items Out
The Items Out tab now includes the date the item was checked out.
Columns
Information in the tabs like Charges have been broken up into columns to make them easier to read.
Copy Statistic dialogue
The copy statistics dialogs in Circulation and Items were combined.
See our Alexandria Makeover page for more information about the changes and improvements!
Navigation
The Circulation module includes a few important and distinct areas:
- Circulation controls on top, which includes the Actions menu, Command Line, Message Center, and more.
- Current Patron and Current Item panes in the middle
- and the Circulation tabs at the bottom.
In the 7.19.10 release, the Renewals subtab was moved to be a main tab and renamed Items out. Also, the History subtab (under the Charges tab) was renamed Payments.
