You can add a photo of the borrower to a borrower's record. You can use an image that has been saved to the workstation or an image you capture with a webcam device connected to the workstation. Using this process, you can also replace an existing photo image with another image.
Borrower photos display in the CKO window and within the borrower record.
Borrower photos do not display in the CKO window if an administrator has configured them to not appear, or if a user has chosen the Hide Borrower Photo option in the CKO menu. Administrators can choose to hide borrower photos on the basis of BTYPE or for the entire library. The Hide Borrower Photo option only affects that user's specific workstation and hides all borrower photos regardless of the borrower's BTYPE.
