CheckVIEW
New in Version 2.6 is the CheckVIEW utility, enabling library staff to remotely monitor
up to four different Self-Checkout Stations at one time from any computer within the
library. This enables library staff to manage issues such as:
• Patrons who are having difficulty using the touch screen
• Stations that may have hardware or system problems
• Viewing the patrons’ check out list to reconcile any discrepancies concerning
availability
Staff members can use their mouse and keyboard to assist patrons by assuming control of
a specific Self-Checkout Station window to step a patron through a checkout procedure.

other branches on the network from any computer on that network. This enables a staff
member to monitor system status, identify a troublesome Self-Checkout Station, print a
pre-run report, or transfer files.
The ILS Remote Monitor works on any computer (with a web browser) that is connected
to the library network.
Circulation Circuit Programming Station
The optional Circulation Circuit Programming Station programs Circulation Circuits,

materials into ILS instead of waiting several weeks for pre-programmed tags. In addition,
the Circulation Circuit Programming Station can be integrated into an optional portable
