How do I register the renewal of loans?

In the Loan management window , registering renewals happens in two possible ways:

Identifying the reader and selecting with the mouse loans to renew:

1. Identify the reader  with his barcode or his name, unless his account is already displayed.
2. Select in the titles zone the loan to renew, then click on the Renew button. A dialog box is displayed, suggesting a renewal duration and a new date of return. If you agree with the suggestion, validate the dialog box, otherwise change either the renewal duration or the new date of return before validating.
   Repeat this step with other titles from the same reader.

Tip : if you press the Alt key when clicking on the Renew buttton, all loans for this reader will be renewed : the renewal dialog box will be displayed for each title to renew.

Identifying titles directly with the barcode scanner:

1. Check that the Entering status  is Renewal, otherwise select it in the Entry menu.
2. Identify the title with its barcode or by doing a search. A dialog box is displayed, suggesting a renewal duration and a new date of return. If you agree with the suggestion, validate the dialog box, otherwise change either the renewal duration or the new date of return before validating.
   Repeat this step with other titles from the same reader.

Notice : if the title to renew has been reserved in the meantime by another reader, the software warns you and it's up to you to decide if you allow the renewal of the loan.

Each title identified stays in the titles zone table with the Renewal mention in the Operations performed column.

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.
