The Patron Message Center provides a way for libraries to communicate with patrons through messages that can be accessed through the patron’s OPAC account. Library staff can create messages manually by adding an OPAC visible Patron Note to an account. Messages can also be automatically generated through an Action Trigger event. Patrons can access and manage messages within their OPAC account. See Circulation - Patron Record - Patron Message Center for more information on adding messages to patron accounts.

Viewing Patron Messages in the OPAC

Patrons will see a new tab for Messages in their OPAC account, as well as a notification of Unread Messages in the account summary.

Patrons will see a list of the messages from the library by clicking on the Messages tab.

Patrons can click on a message Subject to view the message. After viewing the message, it will automatically be marked as read. Patrons have the options to mark the message as unread and to delete the message.
