[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] DOB field in patron accounts

[Pippin, Johnnie]

Good morning,

Our system is looking at making the DOB field within patron accounts required in order to save their information. We feel that this helps at the granular scale of distinguishing multiple patrons with the same name. At patron registration, the DOB field is yellow shaded. However, once any of the other required fields are completed, the DOB field becomes white and is not required. I have read that having the DOB field mandatory is possible within Evergreen. If this is true, how can it be done? If it is false, can it be changed?


Thanks!

-Johnnie
