Naming loaners: Loaner 1, Loaner 2

Give each loaner a short name that matches the sticker on it, so staff can find Loaner 7 at a glance instead of reading serial numbers.

Name them as you add them

In Loaner Pool → + Add to pool, the Loaner name field starts one past the highest Loaner number in use. Pick a device and the name moves on to the next one, so you can add a whole cart in a row. To reuse a freed name, such as a retired Loaner 4, type it over the suggestion.

Or number the ones you already have

Name unnamed loaners gives every loaner without a name the next Loaner number, in asset tag order. Use Rename on any row to change one.

Check out by name

Click Check out on the loaner's row. The window is titled with its name and the cursor is already in Checked out to: type the person, room or cart and press Enter. If what you typed is exactly one person's name on your roster, the loan is linked to them; anything else is saved as typed. To pick from the suggestions instead, click one.

ℹ️
A name stays tied to its device's serial number and shows on the On loan list and in loan history, where you can search by it. Each name is used once in your district. Removing a device from the pool frees its name for another device.
