User details

You can find a user’s details from the Circ. Desk screen. For example if the user barcode is not known.

Click on User> Search to search e.g. by Surname for the User's record.

Locate the correct User. To carry the record back to the Circ. Desk screen, click the check box in the list and click Insert.

Alternatively click on the User name to display User record details including:

  • User name, Address, Barcode and Email
  • User Category and Location
  • Expiry Date
  • Department, Room and Course information
  • Circulation details displaying loan privileges along with details of items on loan, reservations and traps currently applicable to the user

The Loans list box displays:

Barcode/Title Data di scadenza Status Fine Curr / Next Odue Step Date Sent / Due to be Sent Send Status
GB02 - Pragmatic marketing 01-AUG-2019 In ritardo 3.00 2 04-AUG-2019 Inviato

If overdue, this includes details of which point in the overdue sequence an item has reached.

Curr./Next Odue Step: Shows the current overdue step if the notice has been sent and the next step’s notice has not yet been scheduled (or if there is no next step). Shows the next step if this has been scheduled.

Date Sent/Due To Be Sent: Shows the date the current notice was sent if the next step’s notice has not yet been scheduled (or if there is no next step). Shows the date the next notice is due to be sent if this has been scheduled.

Send Status: Indicates the status of the current or next notice.

In addition, a full audit trail is retained of all alerts sent. For users, this is displayed in various list boxes on a Notice History sheet on the Users layout. Lists boxes are available for overdue notices, loan reminder notices, broadcast notices and miscellaneous notices (i.e. other types of notice).
