On this page, you can view all your toy loans, reservations, and bookings, if any. Any information we would like to share with you such as our Newsletters can also be seen under the heading Files and can be accessed by clicking the Open button.

You can reserve the toy by clicking the Reserve Toy button. This will take you to the Reservation page. Follow the steps mentioned above, Reserving a Toy, to see how.

Click & Collect

Just like the shops, you can select a day and time when you want to collect and/or drop off your toys. There are two options on this page.

1. Book a time to pick up any toys you have reserved as well as select a time to drop them off. You must reserve toys first before you can use this option You just simply select from the dropdown menus provided
2. For no toy reservations, if you just want to drop off the toys you already have on loan, then again simply select a date and time from the dropdown menus to do this

Remember to click Save for either option. Once you have made a booking, a Success message will appear and it will also appear under the heading Booking on the My Library page. We will also be notified of your booking.

The post For clients (non-members) – how to use the Client Website! appeared first on MiBase New Zealand.

The main difference is the clients’ toy list is listed as Party Toys. There is no dropdown menu or filters like there is on the Member Website.
You will also not see the Roster page as clients are not required to complete duties.

With the Home page, clients will not see a reminder to renew their membership or the ability to renew it. Nor will they see the Duties heading. Lastly, they will be unable to view or add children as this option is not available for clients.

Under My Library, clients will not see the headings Roster Duties or Missing Pieces.

Otherwise, the rest of the Client Website is very similar to the Member Website with the ability to add toys to their wishlist, reserve toys, and view their transactional history.

The following article For clients – how to use the Client Website! is a guide you can give to your clients to assist them when using the website. Alternatively, you can add a link to this article to the Welcome email for the clients to read before logging on.
