Viewing Handout Entries

Navigate to Tools > Handout Entries to see a list of all handout entries, including both current and historical records.

On the list, you can check:

  • Which tools are/were handed out – If children were/are handed out with a parent, only the parent is visible in the list.
  • Who is/was handing out tools
  • When tools were handed out
  • The expected return date
  • When tools were returned
  • If tools were returned overdue
  • If tools require repair
  • If a tool is still handed out

By different text formatting, you can easily check:

  • Which will be returned in the future – normal formatting
  • Which should be returned today – green italic
  • Which should be returned but still are handed out – red italic
  • Which are returned – normal grey

From the list, you can also check the Handout/Return Document by highlighting the record and selecting the Handout/Return Document button from the toolbar.

The Tools Included column shows if a tool was handed out with children. By selecting this value, a list opens with all children handed out with this parent.
