Checking out material with a specific due date

Circulation periods are pre-set with circulation modifiers. When items are checked out, due dates are automatically calculated and inserted into circulation records on the Check Out screen. Different due dates may be set to override this circulation period.  This process will allow staff to set a non-standard loan period prior to scanning the item.

2. Under the Check Out tab, click on Date Options to the right of the Barcode area.

You may select from Specific Due Date or Use Specific Due Date Until Logout. When you click on your preference, the changes to , and the date field becomes active for editing.

If Use Specific Due Date Until Logout is selected, both boxes will be checked. If Specific Due Date is unchecked, both boxes will be unchecked.  The special due date applies to all subsequent items until it is changed, unchecked or the patron record is exited. If Use Specific Due Date Until Logout is checked, the special due date will stay across all patron profiles until it is either unchecked or staff log out of the client.
