Checking Resources In / Out
Resources are able to be checked in and checked out from several areas within your Trac System.
  • Resources Listing
  • Log Listing
  • Log Resource


Resources Listing

The Resources Listing displays a list of ALL available resources entered into your Trac system, and also contains the corresponding record for each resource. We can quickly see barcode number, check out times, due in times, the associated center, as well as a description for each resource.

Log Resource

The Log Resource window, similar to the Log Student window, allows users to conveniently check resources in and out using a small window that appears at the top of every page. Access to the Log Resource window can be given through your Group Access preferences. Once sufficient privileges are granted, a user’s MyPrefs may need to be adjusted as well to add the Log Resource function to a user’s account.
