Tip for 09.17.18
What do you do when George returns his book damaged? You don’t have to guess—he told you he spilled water on it. You just bookdropped it, so you have both George and his book current in Circulation. What do you do next to mark the item as damaged?
It’s quite easy. From where you are, type DL in the command line and <enter> to bring up a list of Damage Codes with predefined notes and fines. You can select a specific reason, or "Custom Damage". For now let’s select Water Damage and press OK.
What does this do? Two things.
You can edit existing damage codes and add new ones in Preferences > Codes > Damage Codes. Then later you could type DL + the code (such as DL WAT for water damage) into the command line to skip the selection list. |
