Managing User Photos

You can add a photograph to a user’s User Record. Patron photographs are displayed on the Patron Summary page of the Patron Checkout, Status & Reserves screen in the Circulation module. Patron photographs provide an additional level of identification during circulation transactions. User photographs may be added either when adding a new user (see Adding a User for details) or editing an existing user (see Editing User Accounts for details).

NOTE: User Photos functionality is optional, and may not be enabled for all systems.

To add a user photograph:

  1. Add a new user (see Adding a User for details), then click the Upload Photo button from the Add a User Account status message screen, or, access the User Record for the desired patron (see Editing User Accounts for details) and click the Manage User Photo link.
