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, we added two columns: 

  • 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:

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.
