====== Returning an Item ======

In order to return an Item to the library, select the Reader and then the Item required in order to make them both active. As with a normal circulation, the circulation tabbed panel will automatically calculate the appropriate due date and re-configure the command buttons as if a re-circulation was due to take place.

In this case however, select the [Return] command button in order to return the Item to the library and make it available for further use. If any reservation is in place for the Item, a reminder will be displayed with the name of the Reader requiring it.

Any selection of an Item record alone, but which is already on loan to an Reader, will result in the Reader automatically being displayed without the need to manually select it. Selection of an Item with a different Reader displayed (such as an attempt to issue an Item, not realising that it is already on loan) will result in a warning to the user and an offer to automatically select the correct Reader to allow the Item to be returned. A refusal at this point will lock the circulations command buttons - other functions however, such as reservations and bookings, remain accessible.

===== Auto-Return =====

By turning on the [Options] > [Auto-Return] option, it is possible to have the circulation automatically returned to the database as soon as the Item accession number is entered, without manual selection of the [Return] command button.
