Tip

  • You can resize the patron summary pane, or collapse and expand it using the button on the right border of the pane.
  • To quickly renew an expired patron, click the Update Expire Date button. You will need a Main (Profile) Permission Group selected for this to work, since the permission group determines the expiration date.
