[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Patron Buckets

[Laura Horgan]

I have long been a fan of patron buckets.  We set an expiration date for our faculty and review on an annual basis.  Have the ability to update a batch of faculty records as a group would be helpful.

Good Morning,

And with batch editing, what might be some examples there?

Librarians have previously expressed an interest in batch patron delete, batch permission group editing, and batch patron group member editing (such as adding a group of students to a teacher's group).

Enjoy the day!

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
