      If you'd like to prevent full names from printing on slips and you're not using the Initials or Other name fields for anything else, you can use them for shortened versions of the name to then be printed on the slip.

      على سبيل المثال:

      Firstname: Nicole C.
      Surname: Engard
      Initials: NCE
      

      Then on the slip you can have it print the <<borrowers.initials>> instead of the full name (NCE).

      Or you could do something like this:

      Firstname: Nicole
      Surname: Engard
      Initials: E
      

      Then on the slip you can have it print the <<borrowers.initials>>, <<borrowers.firstname>> instead of the full name (E, Nicole).

Quick add a patron

If your circulation desk is very busy and you want to register patron quickly, you can use the 'quick add' feature. It's a shortened version of the add patron form with only a couple of necessary fields to fill out.

This feature uses two system preferences: BorrowerMandatoryField and PatronQuickAddFields. These are the two system preferences that control which fields are in the quick add form.

To quick add a patron, go to the Patrons module

  • للوصول: المستفيدين

Click on the 'Quick add new patron' button.

You will be asked to choose a patron category.

Then, you will be presented with a shortened form.

image1346

Once the form is filled out, click on 'Save'.

If you need to access the full form, you can click on 'Show full form' above the 'Save' button.

Add a statistical patron

One way to track use of in house items is to "check out" the materials to a statistical patron. The "check out" process doesn’t check the book out, but instead tracks an in house use of the item. To use this method for tracking in house use you first will need a patron category set up for your statistical patron.

image420

Next, you will need to create a new patron of the statistical type.

image421

Next, follow the steps put forth in the 'Add a new patron' section of this manual. Since this patron is not a real person, simply fill in the required fields, the correct library and nothing else.

لمعرفة الطرق الأخرى لتعقب الاستخدام المحلي قم بزيارة قسم :ref:`تتبع الاستخدام المحلي <tracking-in-house-use-label> من هذا الدليل.

Editing patrons

المستفيدون في كوها من الممكن تحريرهم من خلال استخدام واحد من عدة أزرار للتحرير.

  • للتعديل أدخل نسجيلة المستفيد وببساطة انقر على زر 'تحرير' في الجزء العلوي من تسجيلة المستفيد.

If a patron forgets their password the only option is to reset their password. To change the patron's password, click the 'Change password' button.

    image428

    • Koha cannot display existing passwords as they are encrypted in the database. Leave the field blank to leave password unchanged.

    • يمكن لهذا النموذج تلقائيا إنشاء كلمة مرور عشوائي إذا نقرت على الرابط المسمى "انقر للملء مع اقتراح عشوائيا. سيتم عرض كلمات السر كنص".

  • To edit a specific section of the patron record (for example the 'Library use' section) click the 'Edit' button beside the section.

    image429

  • A patron image can be added by browsing for the image on your machine from the 'Manage patron image' section.

    • لإضافة صور المستفيد بالجملة، استخدم أداة :ref:`رفع صور المستفيد <upload-patron-images-label>

  • Patrons can also be blocked from checking items out by setting Patron flags

    image431

    • If you would like your circulation staff to confirm a patron's address before checking items out to the patron, you can see the 'Gone no address' flag

      image432

    • If the patron reports that they have lost their card you can set the 'Lost card' flag to prevent someone else from using that card to check items out

      image433

    • اذا كنت ترغب أن تمنع مستفيد من المكتبة يمكنك أن تضبط عليه إشارة 'مُقيد'

      image434

Renew patron account

When renewing a patron account you can either edit the the expiry date manually in the patron record or use the 'Renew patron' option from the More menu in the toolbar at the top.

image1393

Using the latter the new expiry date will be calculated using the enrollment period configured for the patron category of the user. The system preference BorrowerRenewalPeriodBase determines if the new expiry date will be calculated from the current date or from the old expiry date.

One advantage of using the 'Renew patron' option is that it will be logged as a membership renewal in the action_logs table and be visible as such when using the Log viewer or the Modificaton log from the patron account.

The renewal date of the patron account will be visible on the details tab.

image1392

Delete Patron Account

From the more drop-down, the patron account can be deleted. There will be an alert if the patron has checkouts, holds or fines. If a patron has current checkouts, the deletion will not be possible. If a patron has outstanding fines, the deletion will not be possible. If a patron has existing holds on their account, the option to delete the patron is possible. The hold will be cancelled and moved to the old reserves table.

image1406

Managing patron self edits

If you are allowing patrons to edit their accounts via the OPAC with the OPACPatronDetails preference then you will need to approve all changes via the staff client before they're applied. If there are patron edits awaiting action they will appear on the staff client dashboard below the modules list (along with other items awaiting action).

image438

Note

Superlibrarians will see modifications for any branch, other staff will only see modifications for patrons who belong to their logged in branch.

عند النقر على رابط "المستفيدون المطالبون بتعديلات" سيتم نقلك إلى قائمة المستفيدين الذين يطالبون بالتغيرات.

image439

من هنا يمكنك "الموافقة" وتطبيق التغيرات على تسجيلة المستفيد، "الحذف" لإزالة التغييرات أو "التجاهل" والاحتفاظ بالتغييرات معلقة لمراجعتها لاحقاً.

If you would like to see the entire patron record you can click the 'Patron details' links to the right of the buttons. This will open in a new tab.

Merging patron records

If you accidentally end up with one patron with two cards it is possible to merge their records together so that you don't lose their loan history or holds.

  • In the patron list, check the boxes next to the records you want to merge and click on the 'Merge selected patrons' button.

image1326

Note

It is possible to merge more than two records at a time.

  • Select the patron record you want to keep and click on the 'Merge patrons' button.

Circulation summary

أدناه معلومات المستفيد على شاشة التفاصيل هو عرض كلفة من المواد التي المعارة، المتأخرة، وعلى الانتظار

Checkouts

The first tab shows the items the patron currently has checked out.

image445

Relatives' checkouts

If they have family at the library, staff can see what the other family members have checked out.

image446

Fines & charges

The Fines & charges tab will show for all patrons, even those who don't owe anything.

If the patron does owe money to the library, the tab will show the total amount, without any details. To see the details, go to the fines tabs.

image1360

Holds

If the patron has holds, the number of holds will appear on this tab's title and the details will appear in the tab.

image490

Note

The barcode and call number will only appear on item-level holds or holds that have been confirmed. Record-level holds that are not waiting to be picked up will not have barocdes or call numbers.

From here you can manage the patron's holds: change the pickup library, cancel or suspend holds.

Note

You will only be able to suspend holds if the SuspendHoldsIntranet system preference is set to "Allow".

Note

If, when suspending a hold, you want to be able to set a date at which to automatically resume the hold, set the AutoResumeSuspendedHolds system preference to "Allow" and make sure the unsuspend_holds cron job is activated.

Article requests

If the ArticleRequests system preference is enabled, and the circulation rules allow it, the patrons will be able to request articles, either through the OPAC or in the staff interface.

The details of the patron's request, and its status, are visible in this tab.

image1361

Restrictions

The Restrictions tab will show for all patrons. If the patron has no restrictions you will see that on the tab.

image447

If the patron has restrictions on their account the tab will show the number and the description.

There are four kinds of restrictions:
  • Manual

  • Overdues

  • Suspension

  • Discharge

Using the 'Add manual restriction' button you can add a restriction to the patron record from here. This can be used for any type of restriction you need to put manually on a patron record.

image449

image448

The overdues restrictions are automatically set when overdue notices are sent if you specified you wanted the patron restricted in the Overdue notice/status triggers tool.

This restriction will not be removed automatically when the overdue items are returned unless the القيام بـ system preference is set to 'Do'.

In the circulation rules, you can choose to fine users by suspending them instead of (or in addition to) fining them money. In that case, returning an overdue document will trigger a suspension restriction.

Patrons may also be restricted if you have issued a discharge for them. Once the discharge is validated, the patron is automatically restricted.

Restrictions on a patron record will block checkouts. In fact, a message will appear in red when going to the checkout page.

image1363

Restrictions may also prevent renewing items if the RestrictionBlockRenewing system preference is set to 'block'.

On the OPAC, patrons will get a message saying their account is frozen. They will not be able to place holds from the OPAC.

If you have patrons that have more than one restriction, you can choose to cumulate their restriction periods or not through the CumulativeRestrictionPeriods system preference.

Note

If you want to restrict patrons from doing various actions if their record is not pristine, check the following system preferences:

  • Set the OverduesBlockCirc system preference to 'Block' to prevent patrons who have overdue materials from checking out other materials.

  • Set the OverduesBlockRenewing system preference to 'block renewing for all the patron's items' or 'block renewing only for this item' to prevent patrons who have overdue materials from renewing their loans.

  • Enter values in the noissuescharge and NoIssuesChargeGuarantees system preferences in order to block checking out to patrons who have more than a certain amount in fines or to patrons whose guarantees owe more than a certain amount.

  • Enter a value in the maxoutstanding system preference to prevent patron from placing holds on the OPAC if they owe more than a certain amount.

  • Enter a value in the OPACFineNoRenewals system preference to prevent patron who owe more than a certain amount to renew their loans from the OPAC.

  • Set the BlockExpiredPatronOpacActions system preference to 'Block' if you want to prevent patron whose membership has expired to place hold or renew their loans from the OPAC.

Clubs

If you use patron clubs, patrons will have a tab in their record indicating which club they are enrolled in, if any.

image1362
