How to control patrons and circulation?
Settings for controlling circulation and patron information.
3.7 Cities and Towns
To standardize patron input you can define cities or towns within your region so that when new patrons are added librarians simply have to select the town from a list instead of having to type the town and zip (or postal) code information.

3.7.1 Adding a City
To add a new city, click the 'New City' button at the top of the page and enter the city name, state, zip/postal code and country.
One you click Submit, your city will be saved and will be listed on the Cities and Towns page
Cities can be edited or deleted at any time.
If you have defined local cities using the New city form, then when adding or editing a patron record you will see those cities in a pull down menu to make city selection easy.
This will allow for easy entry of local cities into the patron record without risking the potential for typos or mistaken zip/postal codes.
