Settings - Users - Fee/fine Waive Reasons

Purpose

Libraries can configure reasons that fee/fines are allowed to be waived from patron accounts. 

When a library staff member with appropriate permissions chooses to give a full or partial waive of a fine from within a user record, they will need to pick a reason from these pre-defined values.

Fee/fine waive reasons are set at the tenant level, and are not customizable at particular libraries or for particular service points.

Permissions

  • Settings (Users): Can create, edit and remove waives (this needs to be verified, since the name of this doesn't match the setting name, but no other permission in the list makes sense)

There are no action-based permissions for this section of FOLIO.

UX/UI

The UX/UI is a standard editable settings table.

Fields:

  • Reason
    • Required
    • Text field (is there a character limit?)
  • Description
    • Optional 
    • Text Field
  • Last Updated
    • System generated when table row is created or saved

Then you also have an action column with icons for edit (pencil) and delete (trash can).

Searching

There are no searching options in this section of FOLIO.

Functional workflows

Describe available tasks that can be conducted in the app. To document those tasks, create a new page and link it to this page.
