Requiring Fields for Fast-Added Borrower Records

Your library may want to let circulation staff register new or out-of-area borrowers with a shortened borrower record. This lets you circulate items to borrowers who are new to your library more quickly than if you required a complete registration. Library staff can complete the information in these “fast-added” records at a later time.

You can edit the required information for a borrower’s fast-added registration. (For a list of default columns and columns you can add, see Default Fields on Borrower Records.)

To require fields for fast-added borrower records

1 Open the mq_view view in the Table Editor, or start the View Control process.

The default location of this process is the Administration\System Setup folder on the navigation bar.

Horizon opens the List Search window.

2 Enter “borrower_fast” in the Search for field.

Horizon opens a List Horizon View window.

3 Double-click borrower_fast.

Horizon opens an Edit Horizon View window.

4 Display the Edit View group:

5 If you want to, add any columns that you want to require as fields on a fast-added borrower record.

(For more information, see “Adding a Column to a Search List View or Edit Window” in the “Introduction to Horizon Views” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

6 Mark the Required box for each column in the Edit View group that library staff must complete as part of a fast-added borrower record.

For a list of default columns and columns that you can require, see Default Fields on Borrower Records.

7 Save your changes.
