Lendings app: Handing out and returning equipment
After identifying an employee in the Lendings App, the employee's card opens. From this view, you can see the equipment currently handed out to the employee, hand out additional equipment, return equipment, or exchange an item for another one.

Rules for handing out equipment
To hand out equipment, you need at least the following rights in Trail:
- Lendings: Reader
- Items: Reader
- Access to the item's departments
Items must be reservable before they can be handed out through the Lendings App.
Handing out equipment
The employee's card shows all equipment currently handed out to them. If the employee does not have any equipment, the list is empty.
- Scan the equipment's barcode or QR code into the barcode field
- Check that the scanned equipment appears in the employee's item list
- Press Enter
- The item will be listed to the list lended items.
- Repeat for other items
- Click the green Done button when you are finished
Returning equipment
- Open the employee's card
- Find the equipment you want to return and click Return
- Trail marks item as returned
- Repeat this for any other equipment being returned
- Click Done when you are finished
Users with editor rights to lendings can return items directly from Trail Lending page
If equipment is lost or cannot be reused
If an item has been lost, broken, or otherwise cannot be reused, it can be deleted through the Lendings App instead of returned normally.
See Deleting equipment in the Lendings App for instructions.
