Editing Patron Categories

You can change the name, display sequence or status of any existing patron category.

To edit a patron category:

  1. On the Patron Categories screen, click the Edit button for the patron category you wish to edit.

    NOTE: If your library is a member of a consortium or collective that utilizes a “shared patron database,” a warning dialog displays the message “Warning: This list is used by all libraries. Adding, merging or editing the name will affect all other member libraries. Do you want to continue?” Click the OK button to continue editing the Patron group. Click the Cancel button to cancel the operation and return to the Patron Groups screen.

    • The Edit Patron Category screen displays in an additional browser window. The screen is pre-filled with the current values for the selected Patron Category.
