To check in an item click Check In Items from the Circulation and Patrons toolbar, or select Check In from the Circulation menu.
Scan item barcode or enter manually and click Submit.
If there is an overdue fine associated with the checkin, an alert will appear at the top of the screen with a fine tally for the current checkin session. To immediately handle fine payment, click the alert to jump to the patron’s bill record.
To change effective check-in date, select Check In Items from the Circulation menu. In the Effective Date field enter the date in yyyy-mm-dd format.
The new effective date is now displayed in the red bar above the Barcode field.
Move the cursor to the Barcode field. Scan the items. When finishing backdated check-in, change the Effective Date back to today’s date.
After an item has been checked in, you may use the Backdate Post-Checkin function to backdate the check-in date.
Select the item on the Check In screen, select Backdate Post-Checkin from the Actions menu.
In the Effective Date field enter the date in yyyy-mm-dd format. The check-in date will be adjusted according to the new effective check-in date.
At the right bottom corner of the checkin screen, there is a Checkin Modifiers pop-up list. The options are:
These options may be selected simultaneously. The selected option is displayed in the header area.
Please be aware that checkin modifiers are "sticky", which means they will stay on until you uncheck them again, even after you log out of Evergreen completely and log back in later. So, it is important to clear out any checkin modifiers before you close out the tab or move on to something else. (Make sure all the checkin modifiers have an orange 'x' beside them.)
