Setting Up or Editing a Specific BTYPE Expiration Date

If you want to, you can choose to specify an exact date when a BTYPE’s registrations expire. (For example, you might want student borrowers’ registrations to expire on the last day of school.) When you choose a specific date for a BTYPE registration to expire, the specific date overrides the number of days entered in the expiration (days) field of the btype view for the same BTYPE.

For example, suppose you have a specific BTYPE with a default expiration date of 120 days. You then set an expiration date of March 15 for that BTYPE. On February 10 you create a new borrower record of that BTYPE. The borrower record will expire on March 15 because the specific expiration date overrides the number of days to expiration.

You can also postpone the use of a specific expiration date for newly created BTYPE records until after a date you specify.

To set up or edit a BTYPE expiration date

1 Open the btype_expiration_date view in the Table Editor.

Horizon opens the List Borrower Type Expiration Dates window.

2 Choose the expiration date definition that you want to change, or create a new expiration date definition.

Horizon displays the Edit Borrower Type Expiration Dates window:

3 Complete or update these fields:

Field

Action

Borrower Type

Enter or choose the code for the BTYPE to which you want the expiration date to apply.

Location

Enter or choose the code for the location where the borrower’s registration expires.

After Date

If you want to, enter the date after which the BTYPE expiration date becomes effective.

All borrower records of this BTYPE that are created after the date you enter in this field will have the fixed expiration date from this table instead of expiring after the number of days you set in the btype view.

If you leave this field blank, all borrower records of this BTYPE that are created after you finish this task will have the fixed expiration date from this view.

Expiration Date

Enter the fixed expiration date that you want to apply to borrower records with this BTYPE.

After this expiration date passes, BTYPE records again expire after the number of days you specified in the BTYPE record.

4 Save your changes.
