Set Items Out receipt options

Staff members can print a patron’s Items Out list from the Patron Status workform - Items Out view. This “receipt” lists all the items a patron currently has checked out. The header of the Items Out list always includes the library name and date/time. You can include the following optional header data: author, call number, collection, due date, any custom note set for printed receipts, item’s assigned branch, item barcode, item count, library phone, material type, limited patron barcode, patron name, renewals left, title, library Web address, and user-defined fields.

Note:
If you choose to print check-out receipts only when prompted (see Set check-out receipt options), the receipt prompt is not displayed for renewals from the Patron Status workform - Items Out view. However, staff can optionally print the Items Out “receipt” from this view by suppressing check-out receipt printing from the workform Tools options, and then printing receipts on demand by printing the Items Out list (CTRL+ALT+P).

To select additional information to appear on the Items Out list:

Note:
You can set these options on the system, library, or branch level. The system uses the settings for the workstation’s log-on branch.

In the Administration Explorer tree view, open the Parameters folder for the organization, and select the Patron Services tabbed page in the details view.
Double-click Items out receipt options. The Items Out Receipt Options dialog box appears.

To include a field in the Items Out receipt, select the field in the Select content list. User-defined fields are grouped together at the end of the list.
Click OK.
