Restoring Recycled Borrowers

The steps in this topic explain how to restore recycled Borrowers from the system. If the borrowers have been deleted from the recycle bin then it is not possible to restore them.

The details below demonstrate how to restore a recycled borrower.

·Open the borrowers table from the left hand menu to load a list of all the currently enrolled borrowers. Another way to get to the borrowers table is to click Database / Borrowers from the menu at the top of Management.

·Click Recycle from the menu on the right.

·Locate a borrower in the list. This can be done several ways but normally the fastest way is to type the name into the quick search box at the top right of the Management page and press Enter.

·Once the borrower you wish to restore has been located, click to highlight it in the grid then click Restore from the right menu.

·A prompt will display requesting confirmation of this action. Click Yes to proceed and restore the record from the recycle bin.

By default, when a borrower is recycled, the group they are assigned to is changed from GroupName, to "Leaver XXXX (Old Group GroupName)", where GroupName is the name of a borrowers tutor group and XXXX is the year that the borrower was recycled. For example, if a group that is recycled in 2013 is labelled "11H" then this group will be renamed to "Leaver 2013 (Old Group 11H)".

This process is reversed when a borrower is restored so Leaver 2013 (Old Group 11H) becomes 11H once more.
