How to record a loan in your game library
Record in the app that someone is taking a game from the library: who, for how long and when it's due. Without a QR code, from the staff panel.
12 steps with screenshots of the app
When someone takes a game from the library, record it as a loan: that way you know who has it and when it's due back, and the app reminds them before it's due. This guide does it by hand, without a QR code. It works the same for a Meeplay's game library and for your club's: you open your club's from its dashboard, with the Library icon.
- Have the Meeplay app installed and be logged in to your account.
- Manage an organization on Meeplay. If you don't have one yet, follow the How to create your organization guide first.
- Have a published game library in a Meeplay. If you don't have one yet, follow How to add a game library to a Meeplay.
In each screenshot, what you need to tap is outlined in yellow and pointed out with an arrow.
