Symphony

• "Total price of checked out items" field:

A "Print sum of checked out item prices" option was added to due date and charge slips for the Checkout wizard. This option causes WorkFlows to print a "Total price of checked out items" field on the patron's checkout slip which shows the total price of all items on the checkout slip. Support for the "Total price of checked out items" field has also been added to email templates for checkout receipts.  This option can be useful for showing patrons the money they save by checking out books from your library instead of buying them. (3.5.3 SP1)
