[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] marking a patron barcode inactive

[Gordana Vitez]

Hi Angela, 
 
Thanks for replying. Right now, there are 2 barcodes associated with that record. To explain, we're an academic library and we get our records from the registrar's office. Because records need a barcode, we decided to go with the student # as the place holder until they come into the library and use their card for the first time. If I go into the patron record, the only # I can manipulate is the default student # and not the offending incorrect barcode. So I can't replace it. As much as I would like to... :-)
 
Thanks!
Gordana

Hi Gordana,

You can mark a patron's barcode inactive in the staff client by replacing the barcode in the patron's account.  When you edit a patron's record you can choose "Replace Barcode" and enter in the new barcode.  After you save the changes, the old barcode will be inactive.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sharon,
 
Thanks for pointing that out. I found it but what happens is it makes the patron inactive. What we would like to do is mark only one barcode inactive...one was added to the record that is incorrect. It's actually a different patron's barcode. So when we use it, we bring up the wrong patron.
 
Thanks though!

Under the question "Internet Access Level" is  "Active" with a box and there should be a check mark in the box. Click in the box and it should uncheck and the card will be inactive.

Hi there,
 
I'm trying to mark a patron barcode as inactive but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it!
 
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's obvious but I'm just not seeing it.
 
Thanks!
Gordana
