Changing Numerous Due Dates at Once:
- Once you have created a Review List of items you want to update in Create Lists, go to the Rapid Update function.
- Select Item as the record type to modify.
- From the menu, select Tools | Rapid Update Options | Update Due Date as seen in the screen shot below.
- Select your review file from the drop-down box.
- In the Field: box, be sure Due Date is shown (will be grayed out)
- In the Value: box, enter the new due date (use format MM/DD/YYYY)
The following considerations apply when updating due dates using Rapid Update:
- Loan rule logic is not applied to these transactions.
- Due date extensions are not affected by patron blocks or expired patrons.
- Circulation statistics do not reflect these transactions.
- Notices already queued for printing before the update are still printed. No pre-existing information in any of the notices files is revised.
- Overnight system jobs that create notices recognize and honor the new due dates.
- Holds and recalls are not affected by the updated due date.
- Any bookings associated with the items are overlooked. Priority is given to the patron with the item.
- The DUE DATE value can be set to the present day or forward. No backdating is allowed.
Due Dates can be set only by exact date. Hourly values cannot be set.
