  • It is possible to display the Advanced Query options by default.  Contact your local Relais Administrator to request this change.
  • Use the Advanced options to enter keywords, dates or a patron id for example.

The Side Menu displays a series of queues, statuses and pre-defined queries for requests.

  • Click on an entry to see the corresponding request or request list.

The query returns either a single request or a request grid matching the search term or terms entered.

At any time, click on Query in the side menu to display the query options.
