Batch Update Due Dates

The Batch Update Due Dates function allows Library SuperUsers and Customer SuperUsers to update the due dates for all currently checked out items for all patrons to a new specified due date. This function is intended for use primarily when a library may experience an unanticipated closure for a period of time.

NOTE: The Batch Update Due Dates function is shown ONLY if you are logged in as a Library SuperUser or Customer SuperUser.

To perform a batch update of due dates:

NOTE: Once submitted, the batch update CANNOT be undone (the original due dates for checked out items CANNOT be automatically restored).

    • The Batch Update Due Dates screen displays.
