Genie: adding red Reserves asterisk to other Loans reports

The Loans Renewal report shows a red asterisk next to titles that have one or more active Reserves.

You can apply this feature to other Loans reports, as well.

To do so, edit MyReports.config and add the following line where you want the red asterisk to appear in the report.

<Field UseFunction="IsActiveReserve" Style="Color:Red"/>

The IsActiveReserve function requires that the report also include the LoanItemBC and LoanCatID fields. If these fields are not already included in the report, and you do not want them to appear in the report, use the Visible="false" setting to hide them.

<Field Name="LoanItemBC" Visible="false"/>
<Field Name="LoanCatID" Visible="false"/>

Note: Including IsActiveReserve can slow down the speed of report display since determining whether to display the red asterisk requires searching Reserves for each record in the report.

Genie: making the "Check for reserves" link more obvious

On the Check Items In page in Genie, you can make the link to check reserves more obvious, if you like. For example, to change the link color to be red, instead of the default blue, you can modify the loans_checkin screen in MyEditScreens.config, to change this:

<Field Display="Check for reserves against item(s) checked in." Style="font-weight: normal">%%CheckForReserve</Field>

To this:

<Field Display="Check for reserves against item(s) checked in." Style="color: red;font-weight: normal">%%CheckForReserve</Field>
