  • The “OPAC/Staff interface login” section asks for the username and password to be used by the patron (or staff member) to log into their account in the OPAC and for staff to log in to the staff interface.

'Duplicate patron record' warning with options to view existing patron record, to edit existing record or to save as new record

Note

See the PatronDuplicateMatchingAddFields system preference to see or change which fields are used to detect duplicate patrons. The default is the surname, the firstname and the date of birth.

Si vous avez défini un âge minimum ou maximum dans la catégorie des adhérents où la date de naissance doit être saisie, Koha vous avertira que l’adhérent que vous êtes en train d’ajouter est trop vieux ou trop jeune pour la catégorie d’adhérents que vous avez sélectionnée:

Warning 'The following fields are wrong. Please fix them. Patron's age is incorrect for their category. Ages allowed are 5-17.'

If the patron’s category has an enrollment fee, the fee will be charged to the patron’s account when the account is created. You can then manage the charge in the patron’s accounting tab.

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

  • Allez dans le module « Adhérents »

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 staff patron

All staff members must be entered into Koha as patrons of the “Staff” type. Follow the steps in Add a Patron to add a staff member. To give the staff member permissions to access the staff client, follow the steps in patron permissions

Important

Pensez bien à donner aux professionnels un identifiant et un mot de passe sûrs.

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.

To learn about other methods of tracking in house use visit the tracking inhouse use section of this manual.

Duplicate a patron

Parfois, lorsque vous ajouter une nouvelle famille dans votre système, vous ne voulez pas taper encore et encore les informations de contact. Koha vous permet de dupliquer un adhérent et de changer seulement les parties que vous voulez (ou que vous avez besoin de) modifier.

  • Ouvrez la fiche de l’adhérent sur lequel vous voulez vous baser vos duplications.

  • Cliquez sur le bouton “dupliquer” en haut de la fiche

    image422

  • Tous les champs ont été copiés sauf les prénom, date de naissance, civilité, numéro de carte, identifiant OPAC et mot de passe OPAC. Complétez les champs manquants et cliquez sur « Enregistrer »

    image423

    • Note

      En cliquant sur un champ déjà rempli, la donnée s’efface (et vous permet de gagner du temps au niveau de la mise à jour)

  • Vous serez amené à un écran présentant le nouvel adhérent

    image424

Add patron images

Vous pouvez ajouter des photos des adhérents pour mieux les identifier. Pour cela, vous devez aller sur la préférence système patronimages et la positionner sur « Permettre » (ou « Autoriser »).

Une fois la préférence système activée sur “Permettre”, vous verrez un espace réservé à l’image sous le nom de l’adhérent et un onglet pour télécharger une photo.

image425

In the “Upload patron image” box click “Browse” to find the image on your computer and “Upload” to load the image on to the patron record.

image426

Important

Attention, il y a une limite de taille de l’image de 100 ko, nous vous conseillons une image de 200x300 pixels, mais les plus petites tailles fonctionnent également.

Editing patrons

Il y a dans Koha de nombreuses façons de modifier la fiche d’un adhérent.

  • Pour modifier l’intégralité de la fiche de l’adhérent, cliquez sur le bouton Modifier qui se trouve en haut de la fiche.

    Row of action buttons at the top of the patron's detail page

  • Patron passwords are not recoverable. The stars show on the patron detail next to the password label are always there even if a password isn’t set. 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.

    • Ce formulaire peut générer automatiquement un mot de passe de façon aléatoire. Si vous cliquez sur le lien « cliquer pour compléter avec un mot de passe généré automatiquement. Le mot de passe affichésera un texte ».

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

    'Library use' section of the patron's file

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

    image430

    • This form will not appear if you have the patronimages system preference to not allow patron images.

    • To add patron images in bulk, use the Upload patron images tool.

  • 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

    • Si vous souhaitez suspendre un adhérent de la bibliothèque, ajoutez une suspension manuelle

      image434

    • Si vous entrez une date ou une note relative aux restrictions, vous la retrouverez aussi dans le message associé

      image435

  • Children patrons do not become adults automatically in Koha unless you have the Update patron categories cron job running. To upgrade a child patron to and adult patron category manually go to the “More” menu and choose “Update child to adult patron”

    image436

    • Une fenêtre pop-up s’affichera pouv vous demander en quelle catégorie d’adhérent adultes devra être transformé cet adhérent enfant

      image437

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

If the patron is in a patron category with a membership fee, the charge will also be added upon renewal. You can then manage the charge in the patron’s accounting tab.

Deleting a patron account

From the “More” drop-down, the patron account can be deleted.

image1469

There will be an alert if the patron has checkouts, holds, fines or credits.

  • If a patron has current checkouts, the deletion will not be possible.

    image1470

  • If a patron has outstanding fines, the deletion will not be possible.

    image1468

  • If a patron has unused credits, the option to delete the patron is possible but there will be a warning.

    image1471

  • 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.

    image1462

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

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.

image445

Note

  • You can customize the columns of this table in the “Table settings” section of the Administration module (table id: issues-table).

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.

Table of patron's current holds

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.

Restrictions

L’onglet Suspensions s’affichera sur toutes les fiches adhérents. Si l’adhérent n’est pas suspendu, cela sera aussi précisé.

image447

Si l’adhérent est suspendu, les précisions s’afficheront dans l’onglet Suspensions.

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 AutoRemoveOverduesRestrictions 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

  • 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 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.
