    Question

    Which Circulation preferences (settings, configuration, etc.) reset upon logout, and which persist until changed?

    Answer

    While it is named “Session Preferences” on the screen, some settings set in Circulation Client > Session Preferences do not reset when you logout but persist.

    Along with the following information, you can print off for easy reference the Explanation of Preference Settings in Voyager Circulation PDF attached to this article. For every preference it provides a full description, whether the preference resets or persists, and where to look for additional information.

    Alerts, Printing and Fine/Fee/Demerit Tab

    Preference resets upon logout to the default determined in Voyager System Administration:

    • Alerts
      • Patron Fine Fee Alerts
      • Patron Available Item Alerts

     

    • Printing
      • Print Fine Siips
      • Print Discharge Slips
      • Print Hold Slips

    • Print Due Date Slip
      • No Due Date Slip

      • All Charges in One Receipt

     

    Preference persists from one login to the next (does not reset with logout).  These preferences are recorded for each Windows username in the Windows Registry of the specific computer:
