August 2020 Updates: Paid Self Renew of Items, Improved Embed Code, Item Type Hiding

Our latest release brings the ability for customers to self-renew/extend loans that have a per day cost, improved myTurn embed code with better browser compatibility, the ability to hide top level Item Types from administrative users, tweaks to the reservation list so that users with reservations on the same day will be listed together, and many other fixes and improvements.

Loan Self Renew / Extend: You can now allow users to self-renew/extend loans for items with a per-day cost. They will be able to pick the new due/return date for the item, and will see a summary of charges and discounts (e.g. membership discounts, taxes, late fees etc.). They will also be able to self-renew loans with late fees (and will have to pay the late fees to date). Upcoming reservations and reservation buffer days will still be respected, as will the default loan length.

Embed Code: additional improvements have been made to the myTurn embed code to increase browser comatibility.

Hide Top Level Item Types: you can now hide top level Item Types from administrators by going to:

Settings > Inventory > Configure Item Types

If you only leave one top level type enabled, it will automatically start at the sub-types. For example, if you only leave “Tools” selected, the Select a Type interface will start with sub-types of Tools.
