按 『新增讀者』
藉由 BorrowerUnwantedField 系統設定，可以控制顯示在讀者新增表單的欄位。
必備欄位的設定在 :ref:`BorrowerMandatoryField`系統偏好
First, enter the identifying information regarding your patron
『Salutation』 is populated by the BorrowersTitles system preference
說明
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.
範例：
Firstname: Nicole C. Surname: Engard Initials: NCE
然後可在收條列印 <<borrowers.initials>> 而不是全名 (NCE)。
或您可以這麼做：
Firstname: Nicole Surname: Engard Initials: E
然後可在收條列印 <<borrowers.initials>>, <<borrowers.firstname>> 而不是全名 (E, Nicole)。
If this patron is a child, you will be asked to attach the child patron to an adult patron (guarantor)
Note Guarantors can only be attached to patrons whose category is of the 『Child』, 『Professional』 or 『Organization』 type.
If the guarantor is a patron of the library, click 『Search to add』 to search your system for an existing patron
Click 『Select』 to choose the patron
以 borrowerRelationship 系統偏好設定其關係
說明
It is possible to add more than one guarantor to a patron account (both parents for example).
If the guarantor is not a patron, you can still add their information in the 『Non-patron guarantor』 section.
Next enter the main address and contact information
說明
The street type is populated by the ROADTYPE authorized values
For contact information, note that the primary phone number and primary email address are the ones that appear on notices and slips printed during circulation (receipts, transfer slips and hold slips). The primary email is also the one that overdue notices and other messages go to.
You can also record an alternate address for each patron. This could be used in an academic setting to store the patron’s home address for example.
Each patron can have an alternate contact. An alternate contact could be a parent or guardian, for example.
圖書館管理區塊包括圖書館內部用的值

『Allow auto-renewal of items』 is used to control whether this patron’s checkouts will be renewed according to the circulation rules. If set to ‘Yes’, items for which automatic renewal is enabled in the circulation rules will be automatically renewed. This requires the automatic_renewal cronjob to run daily. If set to ‘No’, items for which automatic renewal is enabled in the circulation rules will not be automatically renewed.
『Check for previous checkouts』 is used to set the patron’s personal preference regarding checking their circulation history to see if they have borrowed This item in the past. This overrides the setting of the patron category and of the CheckPrevCheckout system preference.
Next, the library set-up section includes additional library settings

The Circulation note is meant solely for your library staff and will appear when the circulation staff goes to check an item out to the patron
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.
Staff will only be able to use this login information to log in to the staff interface if they have at least the catalogue permission.

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
到那： 讀者
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.
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
重要
記得給予館員安全的名稱與密碼，登入館員介面所需。
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.
Next, you will need to create a new patron of the statistical type.
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.

若偏好設為 『允許』，就能在讀者姓名之下看到其照片。
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.
重要
每張照片的大小不能超過 100K，建議解析度不超過 200x300 圖素。
Editing patrons
以任何一個編輯鈕就能編輯讀者。
按下讀者紀錄上方的 『編輯』 鈕，就能編輯整個讀者紀錄。
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.
Koha cannot display existing passwords as they are encrypted in the database. Leave the field blank to leave password unchanged.
若您點選標示為 「勾選將產生隨機建議。密碼以純文字顯示。」 此表單就能自動產生隨機密碼
Changing the password through this form will also update the password expiry date, as set in the patron category.
Only staff members with 『superlibrarian』 permissions can see and change the password expiry date manually. This date can be changed by clicking the 『Edit』 button at the top of the patron’s record, or the 『Edit』 button next to the 『Library use』 section.
To edit a specific section of the patron record (for example the 『Library use』 section) click the 『Edit』 button beside the section.
A patron image can be added by browsing for the image on your machine from the 『Manage patron image』 section.
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
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
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
藉由人工設定，可以停權特定讀者
說明
This flag can automatically be set with the Overdue/notice status triggers
若您鍵入與限制有關的日期與說明，同時可看到限制的訊息
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』
以彈出視窗詢問此兒童讀者應昇級為何種成人讀者類型
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.
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.
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.
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.
If a patron has outstanding fines, the deletion will not be possible.
If a patron has unused credits, the option to delete the patron is possible but there will be a warning.
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.

在詳情頁面的讀者資訊下，是借出、逾期與預約館藏的分頁。
Checkouts
The first tab shows the items the patron currently has checked out.
說明
You can customize the columns of this table in the 『Table settings』 section of the Administration module (table id: issues-table).
Relatives』 checkouts
If they have family at the library, staff can see what the other family members have checked out.
Charges
The Charges tab will only show in the patron accounts that have unpaid amounts or unused credits.
The tab will show the total amount, without any details. To see the details, go to the accounting tab.
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.
說明
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 barcodes or call numbers.
From here you can manage the patron’s holds: change the pickup library, cancel or suspend holds.
說明
You will only be able to suspend holds if the SuspendHoldsIntranet system preference is set to 「Allow」.
說明
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.
Recalls
If recalls are enabled, currently active recalls requested by the patron will appear in this tab.
From here staff members can see the status of each recall and manage them.
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
所有的讀者都有限制分頁。未被限制的讀者在此分頁可見到該訊息。
被限制的讀者將在此顯示其讀者號及限制的事項。
- There are four kinds of restrictions:
Manual
Overdues
Suspension
Discharge
Using the 『Add manual restriction』 link 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.
Comment: enter a comment to explain the restriction
Expiration: optionally enter an expiration date for this restriction. If there is no expiration date, the restriction will stay on the file until it is removed. If there is an expiration date, the restriction will automatically be removed.
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.
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.
備註
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.
Accounting
The patron’s complete accounting history will appear on the Accounting tab. The Accounting tab will show all types of charges and credits: overdue fines, membership fees, rental fees, reserve fees and any other charge you may have for patrons.

Housebound patrons
There are three roles a patron can have in regard to housebound circulation: borrower, chooser or deliverer.
重要
In order to use the housebound module, the HouseboundModule and ExtendedPatronAttributes system preferences must be enabled.
Chooser
If you have enabled the housebound module, with the HouseboundModule system preference, you will see that patrons now have a new section in their record called 『Housebound roles』.
Click the 『Add』 button to mark this patron as a 『Chooser』.
The chooser is in charge of choosing the materials for the housebound patron.
Deliverer
In the 『Housebound roles』, click the 『Add』 button to mark this patron as a 『Deliverer』.
The deliverer is in charge of delivering the chosen materials to the housebound patron on a specific day at a specific time.
Housebound borrowers
To create a housebound profile for an housebound patron, click on the 『Housebound』 tab in their record.
From there, you can edit their housebound profile information.
Delivery day: choose which day (or 『Any』) the patron prefers to receive their delivery.
Frequency: choose the frequency at which they want to receive their deliveries.
說明
The frequencies are managed through the HSBND_FREQ list of authorized values.
Preferred materials: enter notes that will help the chooser choose appropriate documents for the housebound patron.
For example: books, dvds, magazines, etc.
Subjects: if the housebound patron has a preference for particular subjects, enter it here. This will help the chooser choose interesting documents for the patron.
For example: romance, cookbooks, thrillers, etc.
Authors: if the housebound patron has favorite authors, enter them here.
For example: Danielle Steel, James Patterson, etc.
Referral: if the housebound patron has a referral, enter it here.
Notes: enter any other notes that may help the chooser or the deliverer.
Click the 『Save changes』 button to save the housebound profile.
Coordinating deliveries
To plan visits, go to the housebound patron’s record.
In their housebound tab, you will be able to create deliveries.
Click on 『Add a new delivery』.
Fill out the information :
Date: Enter the date of the delivery.
Time: Select a time of day for the delivery. The choices are morning, afternoon, or evening.
Chooser: Select a chooser who will be in charge of selecting the materials for this housebound patron.
Deliverer: Select a deliverer who will be in charge of picking up the materials and bringing them over to the housebound patron.
Choosers and Deliverers can be notified of planned deliveries via reports. Example reports be found in the SQL Reports Library at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Patrons#Patron_Characteristics.
Recalls history
If recalls are enabled, active and past recalls requested by the patron will appear in this tab.
From here staff members can see the status of each recall and manage them.
Two factor authentication in the staff interface
Koha offers two-factor authentication (2FA) for logging into the staff interface.
This two-factor authentication uses a time-based one-time password (TOTP). A TOTP is a password can only be used once and is only valid for a limited time.
Users wanting to use the two-factor authentication must have an app to generate these TOTPs. Any authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, andOTP, FreeOTP and many others can be used. Applications that enable backup of their 2FA accounts (either cloud-based or automatic) are recommended.
Turn on the two-factor authentication with the TwoFactorAuthentication system preference.
Once this is done, the staff user must go to their account by clicking their username at the top of the page and clicking 『My account』.
The user must then go to More > Manage two-factor authentication.
The status should be 『Disabled』 when first going to this page.
Click on 『Enable two-factor authentication』.
A QR code will be presented. This code must be scanned with an authenticator app (see above for suggestions).
備註
If the app doesn’t allow to scan QR codes, the page gives the credentials that can be entered manually (account, key, time-based).
Once the QR code is scanned, the app will return a time-based PIN code. The user must enter this PIN code in the PIN code field and click 『Register with two-factor app』.
The status of the two-factor authentication will now be enabled.
When this user tries to log in to the staff interface, they will have to enter their username and password, like always, but also a two-factor authentication code.
The user must then open their authenticator app, generate a time-based one-time password and enter it in the field in order to log in.
Should the user wish to disable their two-factor authentication, they can go to their account in the staff interface, click More > Manage two-factor authentication and click 『Disable two-factor authentication』.

Communicating with patrons
Koha offers several options for communicating with patrons, some of which have already been covered in this chapter.
OPAC notes
OPAC notes are added to the patron’s file through the add patron form or the edit patron form, in the 『Library set-up』 section.
They show up in the 『Your summary』 section of the patron’s online account in the OPAC.
In the staff interface, OPAC notes will be in the 『Library use』 section of the patron’s file.
OPAC messages
OPAC messages are added to the patron’s file using the 『Add message』 button.
To leave a message that the patron will be able to see in the OPAC, choose 「OPAC - Patron’s name」 in the 『Add a message for』 field. Enter your message in the box, or choose a predefined message in the drop-down menu.
說明
Predefined messages are added in the BOR_NOTES authorized value category
Once saved, the patron will be able to see the message in the 『Your summary』 section of their online account. The patron will also be able to see the date on which the message was added as well as the name of the branch.
In the staff interface, OPAC messages are shown on the patron’s detail page, at the top of the page just under the row of action buttons.
It will also appear on the checkout page, to the right of the checkout box.
Advance notices and hold notices
If you have enabled the EnhancedMessagingPreferences system preference, you cat set advance notices as well as hold notices when adding a new patron or editing a patron.

Patrons can choose to receive their notices as a digest by checking the 『Digest only』 box along with the delivery method. A digest is a combination of all the messages of that type (so all items due in 3 days in one email) in to one email instead of multiple emails for each alert.
The delivery methods currently supported are:
