Displaying a Check-in Message to Staff
To display a message when a serial is checked in, your organization must be configured to use the check-in message feature. Contact Innovative to enable or disable the display of check-in messages.
When a serial requires an exception to the usual check-in process, the system can display a message to alert staff. For example, if an issue is requested for reserves, you can add a message to that effect which displays when the issue is checked in. The check-in message displays when the checkin card is retrieved.
Check-in messages are stored in a variable-length field in the checkin record. Your organization decides which variable-length field will hold check-in messages.
To create the check-in message:
- Retrieve the checkin record.
- Insert a variable-length field of the type used for check-in messages.
- Edit the field (enter the message in the field).
- Click Save to save the record.
