Set Polaris to Waive Fines at Check-Out or Renewal

To waive fines automatically when an overdue item is recovered at check-out to another patron, or when a patron renews an overdue item:

1. In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder for the system, and select the Patron Services tabbed page in the details view.
2. To have Polaris automatically waive fines on items recovered at check-out, double-click Overdues: Clear fine if recovered at check-out, and select Yes.

If this parameter is set to No, the fine remains in the account of the patron who incurred the overdue charge and the item is checked out to the new patron.

3. To have Polaris automatically waive fines on items being renewed, double-click Overdues: Clear fine if recovered at renewal, and select Yes.

If this parameter is set to No, the fine remains in the patron’s account when the patron renews the item.

4. Select File, Save.
