How to control patrons and circulation?
Settings for controlling circulation and patron information.
Patron categories allow you to organize your patrons into different roles, age groups, and patron types.
Libraries can decide if they want to have patrons automatically notified of circulation events (check ins and check outs).
-
Get there: More > Administration > Patrons & Circulation > Item Circulation Alerts
These preferences are set based on patron types and item types.
These preference can be overridden by changes in the individual patron's messaging preferences.
To set up circulation alerts:
-
Choose your library from the pull down at the top of the screen
-
To set preferences for all libraries, keep the menu set to 'Default'
-
-
By default all item types and all patrons are notified of check ins and check outs. To change this, click on the item/patron type combo that you would like to stop notices for.
-
In the above example, Juveniles and Kids will not receive check out notices.
