Fine Free Discharge/Checkin Wizard

The Fine Free Discharge/Checkin wizard, also called the No Fault or Clear Charge wizard, allows you to check in items for which you do not want to collect fines, such as if your library has a designated fine free day.

When overdue items are discharged with this wizard, fines and suspensions are not assessed to the user. The wizard performs all other discharge functions (such as transits, check for holds, and update item records) that the existing discharge wizards do except for assessing fines and suspensions.

To check in overdue items without assessing fines or suspensions

Click the Fine Free Checkin/Discharge wizard.

In the Item ID box, scan the item’s ID.

If a Current record exists for the item, click the Current record button to access the last record displayed, modified, or added.

The item displays in the List of Discharges list. Click the glossary links to display more detailed information.

To sort items in the List of Discharges in ascending or descending order, click the column heading of the column you want to sort.

Click Discharge Item to discharge the item you scanned.

Repeat the previous steps until all items are discharged.
