System Setup

Circulation Desk also uses the default annual calendar to automatically create a

new calendar year for you when the due date for a checkout extends into the

coming year for which no calendar has been created.

To set up or change your current calendar, follow these steps:

1. From the Circulation tabs, select the Calendar tab. If a calendar exists for the

current year, the Calendar tab appears. Skip to step 4. If a message appears

informing you that the system was not able to locate the current calendar,

you must set up your default annual calendar. In the warning message,

choose Yes. The Edit New Annual Calendar Defaults dialog appears:

Weekday check boxes

To add a closed day

To remove a closed day

from the default annual

calendar

Closed day selection

list

Note:

If you already created a calendar for the current year and then change

the default annual calendar, these changes won't take effect until you

create a calendar for the next year.

2. Select the weekday check boxes for the days you want to close for the entire

year. Make sure that you do not leave any days open for which you have not

defined Open and Close times in the Hours tab. Circulation Desk treats days

without defined hours of operation as if they were closed.

If there are certain dates on which you know the library will always be

closedĊsuch as January 1 or December 25Ċyou can mark them as closed on

the default calendar by closing the individual day. If you want to close an

individual day, choose New. The New Closed Day dialog appears:

3. From the Closed On dropĆdown lists, select the month and the day of the

month. Choose OK to add that date to the list of closed days and return to the

Edit New Annual Calendar Defaults dialog. To add another closed day, click

New in the Edit New Annual Calendar Default dialog, and repeat this step.
