CIRCULATION ADMINISTRATION
Chapter 3. SETTING FEES
Setting the Patron Lost Book Default Fee
The Patron Lost Book Default Fee lets you establish the default fee assessed against a patron when a lost item is reported using the Patron Lost Book function in the Circulation module. The Patron Lost Book Default Fee is selected from the list of currently defined fees. The currently selected Patron Lost Book Default Fee is shown in the Patron Lost Book Default Fee field. If no fee has been selected, this field shows the message None Set.
If the fee you wish to select as the Patron Lost Book Default Fee is not currently listed on the Fee Setup screen, you must add the fee to the fee list before setting the Patron Lost Book Default Fee (see Adding a Fee for details).
To set the Patron Lost Book Default Fee:
- On the Fee Setup screen, click the Patron Lost Book Default Fee -
Change link.
- The Change Patron Lost Default Fee screen displays in an additional browser window.
- The currently selected default fee is shown in the Current default field.
- Select the desired fee from the Change to drop-down menu.
- The Change to drop-down menu lists all fees currently defined for your library.
- When the desired default fee has been selected, click the Submit
button to save your changes. (Click the Close button to close the
Change Patron Lost Default Fee screen without changing the default
fee.)
- The Change Patron Lost Default Fee screen closes automatically, and the Fee Setup screen refreshes with the selected fee shown in the Patron Lost Book Default Fee field.
