Purpose

check
...
Items being checked out must have an associated record in Inventory with a barcode assigned to the item.
Staff members using the app must have a service point assigned to their user record in the Users app. The checkout is recorded as having happened at the service point that the staff member has associated to their record during the Check Out session.
Permissions
There are two permissions you can assign to users for this app (info current as of Honeysuckle):
- Check out: All Permissions - includes permissions in Check Out: Check Out Circulating Items plus the ability to override a checkout.
- Check out: Check Out Circulating Items - should include all permissions needed to check out items
- Check out: View fees/fines
- Check out: View loans
- Check out: View requests
