Scenario discussion

  • Parent visits library with child and would like to know what is out on the child's card
    • What if the parent is not listed on the child's account?
    • What if the child normally visits with a different parent and a staff member knows that the parents are divorced and that the visiting parent is the noncustodial parent?
    • What if the child is not with the noncustodial parent but they still have the child's card?
    • Any other variations to discuss?

All about Evergreen receipt templates

A lot of information available on OWWL Docs!

Doing more with your receipts will require you to use HTML, CSS, and maybe even AngularJS (a discontinued Javascript framework).

HTML, CSS, and Javascript resources:

Embedded on Aspen page (will move eventually)
