The Alexandria Makeover is here! See what has changed. 
March 21 2022
Overdue and lost books are always going to be a part of running a library–especially when there are students involved. You can set a policy to automate when an overdue item becomes lost, without having to manually check the item out to Lost. Here's how!
Automate Marking Overdue Items Lost
- Go to Preferences > Policies
- On the Item Policy, select which policy you are making the change for
- Go to the Overdue tab
- In the Declare Lost When Overdue field, enter how many days before the program moves the overdue items to Lost, and charges the patron
- Click Save
See Lost and Returned Items for more information.
If you want to set this up as a student policy rather than an Items policy, you can use Policy Exceptions.
As always, you can reach out to our incredible support team at support@goalexandria.com for assistance.
