Tip

  • Requested fields may be configured in the Library Settings Editor (Admin → Local Admin → Library Settings Editor).
  • Statistical categories may be created for information tracked by your library that is not in the default patron record.
  • These may be configured in the Statistical Categories Editor (Admin → Local Admin → Statistical Categories Editor).
  • Staff accounts may also function as patron accounts.
  • You must select a Main (Profile) Permission Group before the Update Expire Date button will work, since the permission group determines the expiration date.
