Check out items to a location

1. Select a location using one of the following methods:
   • Scan the location's barcode in the Find box, or type it in and click Go!.
     Note: To print barcode labels or a list of scannable barcodes for your locations, see Location labels on the Resource page of Reports.
   • Search by keyword: Enter the location's name (or part of a name, followed by *) or number, and click Find Location.
     Select the correct location from the resulting list.
   • Select the location from a list: Click Pick Location, select a location from the list that appears, and then click Go!.
2. After you have selected the location, scan the item barcode in the Find box, or type it in and click Go!.
   If you do not have the item barcode on hand, you can search the database by entering a keyword (or part of a word, followed by *) in the Find box and clicking Find Item.
   If a list appears, click a resource name or Items to see the items available for checkout. Select an item barcode in the list that appears.

Destiny® checks out the item to the location using the loan period defined in Resource Policies in the Back Office. The item then appears in the Checked Out section of the page. When another item is checked out to the same location, the previous checkout moves to the Items Out list.

In-hand transfers

important You can perform in-hand transfers only if the district has selected the Allow sites to receive by barcode scan permission. By default, duplicate barcodes are not allowed across the district. To allow duplicate barcodes across the district, complete these steps. Duplicate barcodes are not allowed at the site. If you are unable to perform an in-hand transfer, contact your Destiny Administrator for access.

An in-hand transfer is when an item from another site in your district is scanned at your site, and then transferred to your site.

example An item in your district is scanned at your site, but it is currently assigned to another site in the district. If in-hand transfer rights, give you an option to immediately transfer the item to the site it is being scanned at.

If the item already has a status, such as checked out, selecting Yes to the in-hand transfer message resolves any previous statuses.

To change the due date of the item in the Checked Out section:

1. Click Change.
2. On the Due Date page, select the desired option on the left. If you choose Selected date:
   • Enter a date in the Selected date box
   • Select a date on the calendar or
   • Select a Loan Period from the list.
3. Click Save.

The Special Date prompt then appears in front of the date.

To change the due date of any of the items listed under Items Out, you will need to check them out again.
