Patron Record
The Patron Record form lists the currently checked-out items on the
patron's record and a list of fines due and paid. To access this form,
click the Patron button from the Patron Record panel of
the Main form.
This form has three tabbed sections.
- Items Out - This panel lists the items currently checked out by the patron. You
can renew items that are near their due date, or even past due, by selecting
the item from the list, and then clicking the Renew
button. Your local library may have restrictions on the number of times
that you can renew an item, and the length of each renewal.
- Fines - This panel lists all outstanding fines owed by the patron due to overdue
items and other library-imposed charges. By default, only unpaid fines
appear in the list. You can also view previously paid items by selecting
the Show Paid field. To modify the list of fines, click the
Fines and Payments button, which displays the
Patron Payment form. The Print Balance Ticket
button will print a receipt of all unpaid fines, if the local workstation
includes a receipt printer. If the patron makes payments during this session,
a receipt of all payments made will automatically print when the Payment
Record form is closed, if receipt printing is available on the workstation.
You can modify the basic properties of the patron's library record by
clicking on the Edit button, which displays the
Edit Patron form. Note that if you brought up the
Patron Record form by first going to the Edit Patron
form, the Edit button will not appear.
To modify the patron's password, click on the Password button.
When you are finished with the patron's record, click the Close
button to return to the Main form.
