A family group can contain a minimum of one person, but it isn't beneficial until you have two or more. The group is created, however, when you add the first borrower.
Adding a borrower to a Family Group is only available if Family Group has been enabled in the Matham table.
To add a borrower to a Family Group
1 | Do one of the following: |
• | From the Launcher navigation bar, choose Circulation, Family Group. |
Note: You may need to configure the Launcher navigation bar to display the Family Group option.
• | From the Checkout window, identify the borrower, then choose Family Group. |
• | From the Borrower window, choose Edit Borrower, then choose Family Group. |
Note: If the borrower does not yet belong to a group, you are presented with the option to search for or create a family group. A borrower cannot belong to more than one group.
2 | Choose Family Group. |
3 | Choose Create a New Group. |
The Family Group window opens with the borrower added to the list. The first member of a family group is automatically designated as a leader. You can edit the borrower's group membership options later if needed.
Note: If the borrower already belongs to a group, the borrower's Family Group window opens. A borrower cannot belong to more than one group.
Below is an example of the Family Group window:
