Printing notifications

If there is no email address or phone number for sending text messages configured for a patron, notifications can be printed in order to send by post.

The permission Print-outs is required.

You find the Print-outs tab in the Patron section.

You can filter to display only one type of messages and on organisational levels.

You can select all or some messages in the list and print them by clicking on Print. You also have the possibility to download individual PDF files for each notification. For example, if an overdue reminder contains 50 notifications for different patrons, a separate PDF will be created for each one. This feature is useful when printing is done by an external partner. The files will be saved in the local computer's Download folder. You can also click on Print next to a selected message and only print that one. Make sure to enable Background Graphics in the in the print dialog if you have added white text (e.g. hidden information often used by external partners) in your notifications. This prevents browsers from overriding the text display and ensures it prints as intended.

Once you click Print, the selected messages are sent to the printer and is no longer displayed in the list, unless you check Show handled files. Handled print-outs will only be visible for 7 days.

Note:
A maximum of 500 unhandled print-outs are displayed. If there are more than this, print some, and then refresh the window to fetch more print-outs.
