Prompt - update next service date at normal check out

You can choose to display a prompt during normal check out to update an active Outreach Services patron’s next service date if the item is not on the patron’s pick list. If the staff member chooses to update the next service date from the prompt, the patron’s Next Service Date and Last Service Date are updated based on the Outreach Services delivery schedule set for that patron. If no prompt is displayed, or if the staff member chooses not to update the service date, the patron’s next service date is not affected. The parameter is available at the system, library, and branch levels. The system uses the setting of the staff member’s log-on branch.

To set the prompt to display:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder for the organization, and select the Patron Services tabbed page in the details view.
2. Double-click ORS: Prompt for update during normal check-out, and set the parameter to Yes.
3. Select File | Save.
