How do I register the return of lent titles?

In the Loan management window, registering the return of titles can happen in two ways:

Identifying the reader and selecting titles with the mouse :

1.  Identify the reader with his barcode or his name, unless his account is already displayed.
2. Select in the titles zone the title to return, then click on the Delete button.
   Repeat this step with other titles from the same reader.

Tip : if you press the Alt key when clicking on the Delete button, all titles lent by this reader will be returned. This shortcut can nevertheless be dangerous, because you have to be sure that all titles have physically been returned, what can be difficult to check if the reader has borrowed many titles.

Identifying titles directly with the barcode scanner:

1. Check that the Entering status  is Remove-Return, otherwise select it in the Entry menu.
2. Identify the title  with its barcode or by doing a search.
   If the reader gives several titles back, repeat this step for each title.

Each title identified stays in the titles zone table with the Remove-Return mention in the Operations performed column. Nevertheless, the Number of loans field below the loans table is updated in order to mirror the reader account status.

Once you have finished with a reader, you can click on the Validate button or immediately identify the next reader without clicking on Validate : when switching reader, the operations performed with the current reader are automatically saved.

If overdue titles have been returned and your library bills a fine, a due amount is displayed below the table in the titles zone. When validating loans, a dialog box can be displayed, demanding the payment of the fine. This dialog box is described in this article .
