Setting Up Checkin Display Options

Although you do not need to identify a borrower when you check in an item, you have the option to set up the checkin display to show the borrower name. When you choose to show the borrower’s name, the name appears to the right of the Barcode field, and items in the list view relate to the borrower shown. When you then check in an item that was checked out by a different borrower, Horizon clears the list view to display items checked in from the new borrower.

When you choose to show the borrower's information, a window showing the borrower's current blocks displays when an item is checked in. You have the option to hide this window. If you choose not to show the borrower, Horizon does not display current blocks for the borrower.

Your system administrator can set up your system to display the name of the borrower during Damaged Mode checkin, even if you do not choose the CKI-Show Borrower display option. (For instructions, see “Changing Circulation Display Options” in the Circulation Setup Guide.)

When you try to check in an item that is not currently checked out, Circulation displays an Item Not Out checkin message, and the item does not display in the list view. You can choose to hide the Item Not Out message. You can also change the display options so that items that are not checked out do appear in the list view during checkin.

When you check in an item that has a hold request on it, Horizon displays a message indicating the hold. You have the option to cancel the hold or to leave the item on hold. If you choose to leave the item on hold, Horizon displays a message directing you to put the item on the hold shelf. You can choose to hide the message on any or all individual workstations. If you have a service or application that requires that you enter the borrower's barcode number, such a Biblotheca smartlocker™, you can enable Horizon to copy the barcode when it traps the hold. You can then quickly paste it into the application as needed.
