I can’t tell if I’m not seeing a screen or if entries are hard coded -

I want to add other “Library Types” to the list (and remove some). For instance, I don’t need Computer Equipment to loan, but I do need to loan Band Instruments and Marching Uniforms.

Is there a way to edit the list? I’m comfortable writing SQL if those are embedded in SQL and just not as a screen on the front end.

Hi Jason,

Library Types are indeed determined by the database, and although there isn’t an interface for adding and customizing them, you could certainly go into the gibbonLibraryType table and create a new row. As a note, the fields column in the gibbonLibraryType table is a JSON object, so you can define any fields specific to these types of library items. Hope this helps!
