Although due dates and times are calculated automatically, you can manually adjust a due date or a due time for a borrower.
Some loaned items may have an indefinite due date. This is sometimes referred to as a permanent loan or an indefinite loan. Items on permanent loan may be recalled and loaned to other patrons, then returned to the original borrower after checkin. In Horizon, any due date past 12-31-2049 displays as an indefinite due date on the Checkout window.
To change the due date or time during checkout
1 | Identify the borrower. |
2 | Identify the item, or if the item is already checked out to the identified borrower, choose All Items Out. |
Note: If the borrower is a member of a family group and has permissions to view and renew checkouts for other members, you can edit any item in the All Group Items Out list.
Horizon displays the item in the list box.
3 | Highlight the item in the list box and click Edit Item. |
Horizon displays the Edit Checkout window:
4 | Make whatever changes are necessary in the Due Date and Due Time fields and mark the AM or PM button, as appropriate. |
5 | If you want, you can enter a note in the Note field (which will display when the item is checked in) and in the Internal Note field (which the library staff views). |
6 | Save your changes and close the Edit Checkout window. |
Horizon displays the Checkout window showing the new due date and time (or shows it as Indefinite) in the list box.
