2. Select the hold that you want to cancel and choose the Cancel Holds button.

To print a hold cancellation notice, choose Yes. Millennium Circulation prompts you to select a hold cancellation message.

Millennium Circulation prompts you only once to select a hold cancellation notice message (i.e., the same message will be used for all of the hold cancellation notices you generate).
