Reservations
Upcoming
The Reservations screen provides a searchable and sortable list of all upcoming reservations listed in chronological order, which can be filtered by branch, date, or checked in/out status. To access the Reservations screen from the Staff Console, click Reservations > Upcoming.
By default, 50 reservations are shown. Select a number from the Show entries drop-down list to change the number of reservations you see per page.
Note:
- If a library has multiple branches, a patron will be able to choose a different branch to pick up the museum/thing rather than only defaulting to which branch the item belongs to. On the Reservations screen, the pickup location will be displayed, as well as the branch the item belongs to. This option must be enabled during setup.
- If a reservation is not marked as checked out, it will be automatically moved from the Upcoming Reservations screen to Past Reservations.
Filter results
If you want to filter results you can:
- Click Filter and apply one or more of the following features:
- Branch - Select a branch from the drop-down list. By default, all available branches are included in the results.

Check out or check in
A reservation can be marked as checked out or checked in. If ILS circulation integration is enabled, it will also trigger a checkout in the ILS. The button will change to either checked out or checked in, depending upon the action taken.
Note: The check out button will be disabled if there aren’t any available items to check out.
Cancel, Modify, and History
The Cancel, Modify, and History options are accessible by clicking the three dots on the right side of the reservations list. This opens a menu allowing you to select one of the following options:
- Cancel - A reservation can be cancelled from the system, which will open the days back up on the public calendar and automatically move from this Upcoming Reservations screen to Past Reservations.
- Modify - Reservation information can be modified, including name, card number, phone, email, pickup date, due date, museum/thing and staff note. Note: Modifying the dates of a reservation could result in a scheduling conflict.
- History - View the history of the reservation, including when it was created, checked out, and checked in. Note: This screen can be printed to serve as a transaction receipt.
Past
The Past & Cancelled Reservations screen provides a searchable and sortable list of all upcoming reservations listed in chronological order, which can be filtered by branch, date, or checked in/out status. This list will also note if the reservation was Picked Up, Not Picked Up (depending on if it was ever marked as checked out), or Cancelled. To access the Past & Cancelled Reservations screen from the Staff Console, click Reservations > Past.
Expired reservations which have automatically moved from Upcoming Reservations to Past Reservations can be moved back and modified by selecting Move to Upcoming.
