Reset Due Dates of Checked-Out Items
Your library may allow you to change the due dates of selected items after they have been checked out. (The items must have a status of Out.) For example, a patron may realize that she will be out of town on the original due date, so you make the item due a few days later. You can reset the due dates from the list of checked-out items in the Check Out workform or the Items Out view of the Patron Status workform if you have the appropriate permissions (see

Note:
When you reset due dates from the Check Out workform, the check-out receipt lists each item with the original due date, with a note at the end stating the new due date. If the date has been changed more than once, the last date chosen is noted. If different dates have been set for multiple items, the date of the last item changed is printed.
