This report contains the following tabs.
| • | Basic Tab: Reports |
| • | Charge Selection Tab |
| • | User Selection Tab |
| • | User Status Selection Tab |
| • | Item Selection Tab |
| • | New Due Date Tab |
In the New Due Date field on the New Due Date tab, specify the date you want to use as the due date for all selected charges. You may use the Day and Time gadget to choose a due date and due time.
This report selects only ACTIVE charges since INACTIVE charges are associated with lost items, and their original due dates should not be changed. For Unicorn Version GL3.0, the report will not select charges with a status of HISTORY since those due dates should not be changed.
When the report runs, all changes made to charges are logged in the history logs. The original due date of each selected charge is recorded in the history log so you can access that information if needed.
The Update Database check box on the New Due Date tab allows you to choose whether to run the report in test mode or to actually update the database. If clear the check box, the report log will show how many records would be selected by the report using the selection criteria you selected. No records are actually changed to contain the new due date. If you select the Update Database check box, the selected records are updated with the new due date. By default, this check box is cleared.
