[ipac] show due time along with due date in HIP?

You need to go to Customize>Searching>Result Type and look at the list
of all your search types and their resulting displays. We have these
four for the course reserve indexes:

Course
Instructor   
Instructor Course Title (Course)	
Instructor Course Title (Instructor) 

Each should have an entry under the column "Item Display"--ours in all
four cases is "Item CR". Perhaps you have more than one Item Display in
use among the four indexes. 

Then go to Customize>Searching>Displays, and look for "Item CR" (or
whatever others you use). Add due_time to all the Item Displays used and
then see what happens.

Hmm, so it turns out where I'm actually being asked to add this is on 
the Reserves results list.  This is a screen that looks like a "bib 
summary" screen.  The portion of the screen that contains the bib items 
is clearly an "item" display of some kind. but I can't for the life of 
me figure out which display, if any, I can change to add due time! I've 
added it everywhere I can find in my test server, and restarted jboss, 
and it's still not showing up.

Anyone have any idea how I figure out which display is being used for 
item lists on my Reserves result list?

Thanks to the HIP geniuses for helping me out.
