Reminder Notices

Reminder notices (referred to as reminders) combine both overdue notices and billing notices.

You generate reminders manually, rather than relying on Horizon to generate them automatically. When you select the Print Reminders command in Circulation Reports, Horizon checks to see if there are any borrowers who have exceeded a certain number of overdue items or who have more than a certain fine amount. Reminders are generated for borrowers who have exceeded at least one of these limits. (For more information, see Printing or E-mailing Notices, Invoices, and Reminders.)

The overdue and fine limits are set by each library and are usually quite high so that reminders are sent only to people who have many overdues or a very high unpaid fine. The normal overdue and billing notices should be sufficient for other borrowers.

There are no blocks associated with reminders, and reminder notices are printed on pages separate from regular notices.

Here is an example of a reminder notice:

In Circulation Reports, Horizon sorts printed Reminder Notices by borrower number and invoice number.
