Setting the Patron Category Display Sequence
You can specify the order in which patron categories are listed in Patron Category menus throughout the system.
To set the display sequence:
- On the Patron Categories screen, use the Seq text boxes to enter the
desired display sequence for each patron category.
- You can enter any number from “0” to “999999” as a display sequence number.
- You can enter a unique display sequence number for each patron category,
or, you can use the same display sequence number for multiple patron categories.
If the same display sequence number is used for more than one patron category, the associated patron categories are displayed in alphabetic order.
- You can enter display sequence numbers in numeric order (1, 2, 3, etc.), or, you can skip numbers (10, 20, 30, etc.) to allow for insertion of added patron categories between existing patron categories without the need to re-sequence the entire list.
- When display sequence numbers have been entered for all listed patron
categories, click the Submit button to save your changes.
You must enter a display sequence number for all listed patron categories. If you do not enter a display sequence number for a given patron category, the display sequence value for the patron category will revert to “0” when you submit your changes.
