CHECKING FOR OVERDUE CATALOGUE ITEMS

Baslogue^® provides a simple way of checking what catalogue items are currently on loan and are overdue to be returned. (This feature is not available to the Catalogue Browser role when running the Standalone Edition.)

On the main window in the Catalogue Tab, there is an area at the bottom containing are range of buttons. One of these buttons is called "Show Overdue Items". Clicking on this button will apply a special filter to the list of items, so that only those items that are on loan and are overdue will now be displayed. See this screen shot for an example:

Note the Filter Status panel at the bottom of the list of items that reads --- (Status = Currently on Loan) and (Due Date < 31/03/2009)

This is the filter that means that only the items on loan are being shown where the Due Date is older than today (in this example, today is 31/03/2009).

If you click on the Export to Excel button at this points, you will only export the items that are showing - i.e. the ones that are overdue.

Once you are done with viewing this list of items, click on the white cross inside a red box to the left of the Filter Status message. This will clear the filter, showing all items again.
