Tip

  • Requested fields may be configured in the Library Settings Editor (Administration → Local Administration → 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 (Administration → Local Administration → 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.

Email field

It’s possible for administrators to set up the email field to allow or disallow multiple email addresses for a single patron (usually separated by a comma). If you’d like to make changes to whether multiple email addresses are allowed here or not, ask your system administrator to change the ui.patron.edit.au.email.regex library setting.
