Changing Borrower Display Options for a Location

During checkout, when a staff member clicks the All Items Out button on a borrower record, Horizon displays a list of items that the borrower has checked out. You can choose whether Horizon displays all the items the borrower has checked out, or whether Horizon does not display items that the borrower has claimed returned or declared lost. This lets you keep a record of the most recent borrower to have checked out an item with a “Lost” or “Claimed Returned” status without counting those items as currently checked out to that borrower.

When you choose not to display claimed returned or lost items for a borrower, Horizon does these things:

No longer counts the undisplayed items as items that the borrower has on loan
Maintains the link between borrowers and the items with “Claimed Returned” or “Lost” status through the burb table
Maintains the listing of the items in Current Blocks

You can also choose to add the borrower’s barcode to the Checkout window, and to add the borrower name to a damaged checkin display.
