Issues {LSLO-1}

Short loan issues can be done for user-specified periods, which can be overwritten by users with override privileges. Fines can also be generated for short loan late returns.

Items can either be issued to persons following a reservation, or, if the item is not reserved for another person, it can be issued without a reservation.
All issues are for a single period only and the system will allow issues to take place at any time during the period as well as for the five minutes preceding the start of that period.

Fields in the option:

Block 1: Issues
