November 2020: Reservation, Inventory, & Mobile Improvements

Reservation Improvements: The releases this month bring user experience improvements to viewing inventory and making reservations. When starting a reservation you can now go striaght to the cart (giving borrowers a hint they need to go to the cart to submit their reservation) and a new “Add Items” button that closes the pop-up so they know they can add new items to a singe reservation:

Mobile View Improvements: When browsing inventory on mobile, the filters (Categories, Item Types, etc.) are now accessed through a “Filter By” button so your users can get right to the items they want to view, but still easily filter to find what they need easily:

Tapping the filter by button will slide out the filters:

One Time Maintenance: You can now also easily do one time maintenance and repairs without needing to schedule regular maintenance on the item. To do this:

  1. Go to Settings > Inventory > Maintenance Plans
  2. Click “Add New”
  3. Give the plan a name like “One Time Repair”
  4. Set the frequency to 0 (zero) months
  5. Save the plan

Then when viewing an item, if you click “maintenance” you can either start maintenance to specify the item needs maintenance, and when you complete it (or if you complete it right away), click “record” and slect the One Time Repair plan. Record the details and you’re good to go.

Limit Late Fees: We also added a new option to cap late fees at the replacement cost for items. This option can be found at:

Settings > Loans & Reservations > Loans

and you will want to check off “Limit late fees to the item’s replacement cost“. Note, that you will want to set replacement costs on all your items, or set a default replacement cost by all items or types of items using Settings > Inventory > Item Default Values..
