As an alternative to or in addition to printing checkout receipts, you can email a borrower an electronic version of the checkout receipt if the borrower has an email address specified in the borrower record and an administrator has configured Horizon to allow the emailing of checkout receipts for your library.
The Allow Email Checkout Receipt setting in the borrower record determines whether Horizon should email checkout receipts to the borrower. For more information on the Allow Email Checkout Receipt setting, see Editing a Borrower Record .
The information included in the receipt and the receipt's layout can be configured in the circ_slip table. For more information, see Customizing Circulation Slips.
These instructions assume the following:
• | An administrator has set your location to allow emailing of checkout receipts by marking the Allow Emailing of CKO Receipts option in the location record. For more information, see Setting Up a Location Record. |
• | You have marked the Allow Emailing of Checkout Receipts option in the Workstation Receipt Options. For more information, see Printing Receipts and Workslips and Emailing Checkout Receipts. |
• | The borrower has the Allow Email Checkout Receipt option marked in the borrower record. For more information, see Editing a Borrower Record . |
To email checkout receipts to a borrower
1 | If you have not already done so, check out items to an individual borrower. (For instructions, see Checking Out Items to Borrowers.) |
2 | While at the Checkout window, do one of the following: |
• | Choose File, Multi-Item Slip (or press F11) to email a receipt with all the borrower's checked out items. |
• | Choose File, Single Item Slip (or press Ctrl+F10) to email a receipt with just the borrower's most recently checked out item. |
Horizon emails the receipt.
