OWWLUG Meeting, Friday, July 25, 2014


Agenda

Fall Support Staff Workshop

Friday Spetember 12, 2014, 9:00-3:00 at PLSHQ. Sign up via the Calendar of Events. Contact Heidi Jensen with questions.

Bills Review

Paying bills, negative balances, quirks of the bills interface

Discussion:
  • Check vs. select bills
  • Annotate payment
  • Bill history
  • Print receipts - configuration at the Workstation/Printer Settings level vs. function settings (Check Out, Bills, etc.)
  • Refund negative balances - the Actions for Selected Bill > Refund option vs. Add Billing; finally figured out one thing that causes the prompt to add billing
  • Add Billings - creates a bill attached to an existing circulation/bill transaction; this is different from Bill Patron, which creates a single, stand along bill
  • Query: can we add a "select one" prompt at the Payment type selection so that staff are forced to select a payment option, rather than use the "Cash" option which appears as default
