[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron Buckets

[Lynn Floyd]

I have one. What if one branch of a library system closed, and you wanted to move all of those patrons to a new Branch?

Jason,

I have a batch editing use case for this.  Several years ago, one of the primary email providers for a large swath of Georgia counties was bought out, and after a point, they deactivated all email addresses with the older company's domain, which was resulting in massive numbers of bounces for staff to process.  We solved the issue with a server-side SQL batch edit of affected accounts, but patron buckets would have allowed library staff to take care of this themselves.

Hope that helps!

Chris
