Viewing a List of Calculated Fines and Potential Fines

Horizon levies overdue fines at the time an item is checked in. For overdue items not yet checked in, however, you can view the amount that would be levied if the item were checked in today. These are sometimes referred to as “as of today” overdue fines. Horizon does not store this amount in the database but computes it at the time of display, which results in three consequences:
