Instrument Checkouts can be found in `People>individual person record>Checkouts` tab or in `Inventory>Instruments`.
Checking out instruments requires the "Checkout Instrument" role in Liszt Permissions.
Liszt contains the ability to check out an instrument to an individual exclusively (possession) or to a group that may need it regularly (access). Once an instrument is checked out as one category, it cannot be checked out as another category without first checking it in.
For example, if a baritone saxophone is checked out to one person as Access, it can be checked out to a second as Access, but not as Possession. To check it out as a possession checkout, all access checkouts must first be checked in.
To create a new instrument checkout by person record, navigate to the People module and select the appropriate person. When the individual record appears, click on the "Checkouts" tab. Click on New Instrument Checkout, and the New Instrument window will appear.
To create a new instrument checkout by instrument record, navigate to Inventory>Instruments. From the instrument list, if an instrument is available for checkout the row will contain a blue "Check Out" button to the right. Click this button, and the New Instrument window will appear.
If an instrument has been checked out as an access checkout, the "Check Out" button will continue to appear, and "Check In" buttons will appear to the right of the individuals with access. If an instrument has been checked out as a possession checkout, the "Check Out" button will disappear and a "Check In" button will appear in its place.
Once at the New Instrument Window, you will be able to edit the following fields:
Student: Name of student checking out instrument (populated from the People module).
Instrument: Name, Make, Model, and S/N of instruments in inventory (populated by Inventory>Instruments).
Checkout Type: Possession (single checkout) or Access (multiple checkout).
Comments: Comments regarding the checkout.
Date Assigned: Date the instrument is assigned to the student (should auto-populate, if not, click the "Today" button).
Date Relinquished: Date the instrument is checked in (auto-populates from Inventory>Instrument Check-In procedure).
From the Instrument Inventory: Click the blue "Check In" button. The Instrument check-in window will appear and disappear, and the inventory list will update.
From the People module: In the Checkouts tab, select the instrument to be checked-in. In the Instrument Checkout window that appears, click the "Today" button under "Date Relinquished". Save the record.
