+ | Evergreen includes various options for altering how items are checked in for special circumstances (for example, during amnesty periods). These options are selected through the Checkin Modifiers button on the Checkin Items page. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [{{ : | ||

+ | * **Ignore Pre-cataloged Items:** When checked, an " | ||
+ | * **Suppress Holds and Transits:** When checked, a " | ||
+ | * **Amnesty Mode/ | ||
+ | * **Auto-Print Hold and Transit Slips:** This should be checked for most users in most situations. | ||
+ | * **Clear Holds Shelf:** When checked, a "Clear Holds Shelf" message will appear at the top of the screen. This checkin modifier is used when removing items from the holds shelf that have not been picked up by patrons. It will clear the item's "On hold shelf" status and allow it to be routed to its next destination. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each setting is unchecked by default, but the preferred setting is retained by the staff client once selected. | ||

+ | - In the Evergreen Staff Client, click Circulation > Check In Items. | ||
+ | - On the bottom-right corner of the screen, click Checkin Modifiers > Amnesty Mode. | ||
+ | - Check books in (you will see messages indicating if overdue fines have been removed from the items). | ||
+ | - Remember to uncheck Checkin Modifiers > Amnesty Mode when you wish to return to normal checkin. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When you check in items in while Amnesty Mode is turned on, the fines are voided (not forgiven) so they will no longer show up on the patron accounts. If you need to find out how many fines were voided during this time period, you will need to run a report. (There is a PINES Quick Report you can run to review voided fines - please submit a Help Desk ticket if you require assistance.) | ||

+ | |||
+ | Checking items in with Amnesty Mode will only clear overdue fines and will __not__ clear ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the item belongs to a __different library__, the fines should __not__ be forgiven (only an item's owning library should forgive lost or long overdue fines). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Other Checkin Options ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **Print Receipt:** Prints a receipt of the items listed on screen that have been checked in. (Use this option if a patron requests a receipt of the items they have returned.) | ||
+ | * **Trim List:** This option limits the list of items on screen to 20 rows, regardless of how many barcodes are input. //Not normally used.// | ||
+ | * **Strict Barcode:** If checked, the barcode field will only accept 13-digit Codabar barcodes. Barcodes in any format, even if legitimate, will not be processed. | ||
