Add Dates Closed

To define the dates when an organization is closed

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Policy Tables at or above the organization level, and select Dates Closed.

   Example:
   If you are setting the dates closed for all member branches of a library, open the table at the library level. You can add the dates at the library level. All member branches inherit the same dates. In addition, at the library level, you can add or delete dates for specific member branches.

   Tip:
   Click the column heads in the Dates Closed table to sort the entries by organization or by date.

   The Dates Closed table appears in the details view.

   

2. Select to display the Insert Dates Closed dialog box.

   

3. Select the organization for the closed date in the Organization list.

   If you open the Dates Closed policy table at the branch level, only the branch name appears in the Organization list, and the dates closed apply only to that branch.

   Tip:
   You can type the date in the Date Closed box (day of week, month, day of month, year, or MM/DD/YYYY). If you type the wrong day of the week for the date, the day is automatically corrected.

4. Enter a date closed or a range of dates closed:
   1. To enter one date closed:
      1. Click the calendar icon on the Date Closed field or the Until field.

         The calendar appears.

         

      2. Select the month arrows until the month for the closed date appears.
      3. Select same date in the Date Closed field and the Until field.
   2. To enter a range of dates closed:
      1. Enter the first date of the range in the Date Closed field. Use the previous steps.
      2. Enter the last date of the range in the Until field.
5. Select OK.

   Polaris adds the single date, or every individual date in the range to the Dates Closed table. Polaris automatically saves dates added to the Dates Closed table to the database.
