Question:
I would like to learn how to set fines for lost books as the price of the book, for damaged items, as a set price. I would like to learn how to set the price of each item to show up in the library item list on the main screen as one of the columns.

Answer:
Answer: You can enable fines in the Options window. For instance, if you want to use the book's price as the fine for a lost book, enter the name of the field that contains the book price value. Additionally, you can refer to the guide on managing the library's catalog grid to define which columns are displayed.
