Emailing Fine/Fee Transaction Receipts
The system provides an option allowing receipts for fines/fees transactions to be sent to the patron via email. This functionality is enabled through the Circulation Administration module (see the Circulation Administration User Guide for more information). When the email functionality is enabled, the Payments/Fines History screen includes an Email button (when an email address is included in the active patron’s User Record), or No Email Address button (when an email address is not included in the active patron’s User Record).
To email a fine/fee transaction receipt:
- Click the Email button or No Email Address button on the Payments/Fines History screen, as applicable.
- If an email address IS included in the patron’s User Record:
- The confirmation message “The email has been sent” displays briefly at the top of the screen.
- If an email address IS NOT included in the patron’s User Record:
- An Enter Email Address dialog displays.
- To send the receipt, enter a valid email address in the text box provided, then click the Submit and Email button. (To cancel the email request, click the Cancel button.)
- The confirmation message “The email has been sent” displays briefly at the top of the screen.
NOTE: To add an email address to the patron’s User Record, click the Patron Edit button (see Editing Patrons for details).
