Check Out & Check In : Checking Out Items : Overriding The Calculated Due Date
 

Overriding The Calculated Due Date

If you are authorized, Millennium Circulation allows you to override the system-calculated due date for the current check out. Immediately after checking out an item, choose the Change Due Date button.



Millennium Circulation displays the Change Due Date dialog. Using the calendar, you may choose a date up to 365 days from the current date.



To move forward one month, click on the single right arrow (>). To move forward one year, click on the double right arrow (>>).

NOTE: Only days the library is open are available to choose.


To select a date, it is important that you actually click on the date you would like and have the text at the top of the dialog box change. For example, to make the due date one month later:
  • click on the single right arrow (>)
  • click on the date you want to choose
  • be sure it's changed at the top of the dialog
  • then click OK.


The new due date will display on the Check Out tab.



If you would like to apply the selected date to all subsequent checkouts for the current patron, after choosing the Change Due Date button, you can choose the Use this date in rest of check-outs for this patron box.



NOTE: This box appears only when you choose the Change Due Date button from the Check Out tab. Millennium Circulation will not apply this due date to the check outs that are performed for subsequent patrons.


Alternately, once you have checked out several items to a particular patron, you can select some of the items, and change the due date only on those selected items. In the following example, the due date will be changed only for the videorecordings being checked out:
