The Object Bookings Maintenance window is displayed.
Click .
The Select Person window is displayed. See Select Person window.
Use the Select Person window to search for and select the person who the bookings were made for.
The Object Loan window is displayed, populated with the details of all bookings made for the selected person.

Note: If you want to see loans that have already been issued, select Include Issued Objects.
Scan or type the object barcode into the Object Barcode field.
If you want to print the loan issue docket immediately, select Print Loan Issue Docket.

Note: This may be selected already, if set in Configuration File Maintenance.
