Create Reservations Wizard Properties

You can change certain system settings and defaults for the Create Reservations wizard by using the Set Properties window. The Create Reservations wizard allows the following properties to be set.

Display Property Page

You can choose when to display the Create Reservations wizard's Set Properties window by selecting one of the following options.

Wizard Startup displays the Set Properties window the first time you access the wizard until you end the wizard session or log off the client.
Never does not display the Set Properties window the first time you access the wizard. If Never is selected and you want to open the Set Properties window, point to the wizard's toolbar button, right-click, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.

Depending on the value selected in Display Property Page, defaults may appear as the first step of the wizard. Property values that are changed in the first step of a wizard are retained only until the right–click method is used to set properties.

Behavior

You can preset your system to allow variations to the wizard process.

Display Alert for Delinquent User– Displays a message during checkout that the user status has a DELINQUENT, BLOCKED, or BARRED delinquency type. If your site uses the User Groups feature and the user has inherited the delinquency status of other users in the group, then if a user in the same group has a DELINQUENT, BLOCKED, or BARRED delinquency type user status, an alert window will display if this property is selected.
Extend User's Library Privilege – Allows library staff to renew a patron's expired privileges during checkout of a reservation. If the check box is not selected, the staff cannot extend the patron's expired privileges, and the patron will be unable to check out reservation items.
Hide Current User – Controls the display of the Current user record button. If the check box is selected, the Current button will not appear under Identify User to allow the user to select the most recently viewed or modified user record for the checkout. If the check box is cleared, the Current button will appear. By default, this check box is selected.
Hide Current Item – Controls the display of the Current item record button. If the check box is selected, the Current button will not appear under Identify Item to allow the user to select the most recently viewed or modified item for the checkout. If the check box is cleared, the Current button will appear. By default, this check box is selected.
