Checkouts
How to check out equipment with Scanlily's checkout mode
In this mode, users check out equipment and return them, similar to checking out books from a library! Borrowers can scan the QR on the item when they check it out and scan it again when they check it back in. They can also change the status without scanning. You as the bookings administrator will always know who has your items. Participants will be reminded when their item deadline is approaching and will be notified if they are overdue.
With Scanlily checkout mode, you can keep track of who has which item, and you don't burden users scheduling a reservation upfront.
Using our garden tools example, let’s say we want to check out a Garden Rake.
From the Item page, click on the Check Out button.
On the next screen, you would normally simply click on Check Out.
You can see the booking number on this page and also the due date for the item by which you need to return it.
If you are a superuser or administrator of a Pro or Business subscription, you can also check the item out to yourself on behalf of another member or team of your organization.
When you are ready to return the item, then simply click on Check In on the Item page.
After you do that, the item will be available to check out again:
You can see the list of currently checked out items anytime by selecting the upper left Home menu to go to the Dashboard:
Then click on Checkouts to see the list:
