Adding the Homeroom Column to the Borrower View

You must add the homeroom column to the borrower view so that the borrower’s homeroom displays when you open the Edit Borrower window in Circulation. Once you add this column to the borrower view, staff can view or change the borrower’s assigned homeroom in the Edit Borrower window. (For more information, see “Adding a Column to a Search List View or Edit Window” in the “Reconfiguring List and Edit Windows” section of the “Introduction to Horizon Views” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

To add the homeroom column to the borrower view

1 In the Table Editor, open the borrower view.
2 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Edit View group.
3 Click New.
4 Complete these fields in the Edit View group:

Field

Action

Column Name

Enter “homeroom”.

This is the name of the database column on which the field in the Edit Borrower window is based.

Ord

Enter the order number in which the field should display on the Edit Borrower window.

Column Label

Enter the name of the field on the Edit Borrower window.

(For example, you may want to label the field “Borrower’s Homeroom”.)

No. of Display Characters

Enter the number of characters this field can display.

Edit Prop.

If you want the staff to be able to modify the assigned homeroom in the Edit Borrower window, mark Editable; otherwise, leave the Editable box unmarked.

Code Mq View

Enter the “homeroom” code.

Note: This assigns a code view to this field in the Edit Borrower window. Because the database stores all homerooms as codes, assigning a code view to this field requires staff to enter and save only a code, not just any text, in this field in the Edit Borrower window.

5 Save your changes.
