How to set a lookup option? How to check an item out manually, (selecting items and borrowers from drop-down lists)?

A new feature has been added to the Check I/O window in version 2.4: the "Item/Borrower Name Lookup" drop-down boxes.

This enhancement will make it easier for small libraries that do not use barcode scanners to select items and borrowers. In this section, we will explain how to enable the Display Item/Borrower Name Lookup Drop-downs option.

You can select an item by entering the first letters of its title in the lookup item box. Similarly, you can choose a borrower by entering the first letters of their name in the lookup item box.

In the Options/Check InOut select Display Item/Borrower Name Lookup Dropdowns.

Click Save.

Name Lookup (1) is found in the Borrower section. When you enter a character in the Borrower lookup box, it will immediately display the names of borrowers that start with the letters you have entered.

Item Lookup (2) is located in the Item section. Typing a character into the Item lookup box will instantly show the titles of items that begin with the letters you have entered.

If you enter too many letters, you can use the Backspace key to remove the last character.
