Adding a Hold (Block)
Now we add a hold to the account. These blocks control the outcome of student activity (access to marks, registration, etc.) through Banner.
- Click ‘Ctrl Q’ to get back to the main menu.
- Type SOAHOLD in the ‘Go To’ field to get the ‘Hold Information’ screen. The patron will be the same as the one you just added a Memo.
- Click ‘Next block’ or ‘Ctrl Page Down’ to access the record.
- Click on the next available ‘Hold Type’ box and enter LB, which is the code for a library block.
- Tab down to the amount field and enter the amount owing.
- Tab to the ‘From’ field. In most cases, you will not need to change the date in this field. You can hit ‘F10’ and save, and then ‘Ctrl Q’ to get back to the main menu.
- If you do need to change the date to apply a block for an older fine, click on the calendar and change the date. The ‘< >’ buttons change the year, and the ‘<< >>’ buttons change the month.
- Once you are finished with the changes, click OK.
- Click ‘F10’ to save, and ‘Ctrl Q’ to exit to the main menu.
