]]>There are three ways to loan a toy:
When you have loaned the toy, a Success message will appear above the table of listed toy loans.
There are some cases where you will be unable to loan a toy and the system will block you.
In these cases, the Loan Toy button will not appear and if you have used the Scan Toy search box, the system will block you to prevent mistakes.
Underneath the table of listed toy loans, you will see ‘Total toys on Loan’. The number 10 is the maximum amount of toys this member can hire out. So far they have only loaned 4 out of the 10 toys they are allowed.
If a member, however, would like to loan out more toys then their membership allows, you can override the settings by clicking the orange ‘Override OFF’ button before loaning the toy. It will change to ‘Override ON’. Click the button again to turn it off.
If you would like to offer the member free rent on a toy, click the ‘Free Rent OFF’ button before loaning the toy.
Remember to click it back on again once done otherwise every toy will be free.
