Special Loan Dialog Box

The Special Loan dialog box appears when you click Special in the Loan Period area of the Check Out workform. Use this dialog box to set a special loan period before items are checked out. The system takes closed days and dates into account when calculating the due date. For details, see Assign a special loan period.

Important:
The special loan period must be set before you scan the affected items.

• Set the due date:

• To specify the exact date, select a date on the calendar. The loan period appears in the Loan period boxes to the right of the calendar.

• To specify the loan period, type the number of minutes, hours, or days in the Loan period value box, and select the loan interval (minutes, hours, or days) in the Loan period interval box. These boxes are located to the right of the calendar.

• Specify how to apply the special loan period:

• To apply the loan period to the patron’s next item only, select Apply to next item only.

• To apply the loan period to all the items for this patron, select Apply to all items for this patron.

• To apply the loan period to all items being checked out during the current session, select Apply to all checkouts. If you select this option, the setting remains in effect until you click Reset on the Checkout workform or close the workform.
