How can I set end-of-year due dates for all library books?
You can automate end-of-year due dates using Calendar and Policy preferences in Alexandria. To set a period due date please follow the steps below:
- Go to Tools
- Select Calendars
- Choose a calendar from the list on the left
- Set the date by which items should be returned as Period Due by double-clicking on the date
- Repeat the previous step for all calendars that require a period due date
Keep in mind that Alexandria will not change the due date after an item has been checked out. It’s best to establish these dates at the beginning of the year before any items have been checked out, and then review them again at the end of the year to ensure they are still accurate.
