Viewing and Editing Item Information in Checkout

If you want, you can view and edit certain circulation information for items that have been checked out. You can change the barcode number and the due date and time as well as add notes to the record. You can edit information for one item or several items (a “batch”) at a time. However, you can change only the due date and time when you choose to do a batch edit.

You can also view item circulation statistics such as in-house use information. (For more information, see Using Other Horizon Circulation Reporting Options.)
