If Overdue or Renewal Limit

icons appear here, block

conditions appear if you try to

renew these copies. If the Hold

Pending icon appears here, a

message appears asking you

to confirm that you want to

renew this checkout.

When you choose Renew in the Renew dialog, the Checkout Renewal progress

dialog appears. If Circulation Desk encounters any block conditions during the

renewal process, a block message appears. When renewal processing is complete,

you can review the new due dates in the Renew dialog. To return to the Check

Out window, choose Cancel in the Renew dialog.
If overdue fines are generated during renewal processing, a message appears

when processing is complete showing the total of the new fines. You can record

payment for those fines by switching to the Fines window. For information about

recording fine payments, see Chapter 11, Dealing with fines and lost copies."
If you try to renew a copy that has a hold pending on it, a message appears

asking you to confirm this action. Since there is no option to define a password

for overriding holds, you may want to communicate your policy regarding holds

to your library staff.
If you try to renew a copy that has a reserve on it, and the normal circulation

period would overlap the reserve date, Circulation Desk automatically shortens

the loan period so that the renewal is due the day before the pre-reserve

processing date. If the processing date has passed and the reserve is pending, a

message appears asking you to confirm the renewal.
