There are several ways to extend an existing loan.
The most obvious is the Extend button on the Circulation screen (but you need to resource!):
- Click the Extend (Ctrl + X) button in the Circulation module.
- Zap or type the Resource Barcode into the Extend Current Loans screen (you will need to press <Enter> or click OK if you type it in).
- The Extend Loan screen will appear with the Due Date automatically extended to the same date that it would be if you had lent it out today to the borrower.
- You could further extend the loan by typing in a new Due Date manually or clicking on the ‘…’ button to select a date from a calendar. (Don’t forget you can click on the month in the popup calendar to select the month you want from a list!)
- The Extension is granted as soon as you press <Enter> or click OK!
