| Feb 19, 2015 at 20:41 | comment | added | Nickoli Roussakov | I think the problem that the asker may be trying to solve is that items often don't get checked back in on Save and Close, or just Close. I see this happening all the time. People unintentionally leave the item checked out. This happens so much, that going to an admin to check people's stuff back in is a big job. The solution to this problem, IMO, is to ask people who check items out to do a bit more due diligence in checking them back in when done. | |
