Changing Due Dates
Nadine suggested a helpful tip today for using WMS to check out items.
When you go to change the due date, rather than typing in a new date and
time, you can just copy and paste the date that is displayed at the top of the screen shown in green below.

To make this process easier, I have modified the banner so that one needs only to tripple-click inside the date or time to select the appropriate text. Then, just right-click, choose copy, and you're good to go! You can even tripple-click inside the dialog box, right-click and choose paste.
ReplyDeleteWith the way WMS is set up, you can even do this while the "Choose Due Date" dialog box is on the screen -- that frame at the top remains clickable.
