Certain borrower information (such as the borrower name and barcode) can now be masked on patron receipts so that it is obscured. This is useful if you want to keep patron IDs or other information secure or hidden. For example, you can mask a 14-digit ID so that only the final 4 digits display, or so that asterisks display for the first 10 digits and the final 4 digits display normally.
To mask a field on a patron receipt
1 | Open the Horizon client and log in. |
2 | Go to Administration > Table Editor. |
3 | Select the circ_slip table, and then click OK. |
4 | Select the |
For example, select the payment circulation slip.
5 | In the Circulation Slip Field drop-down list, select the field that you want to mask. |
For example, select the Borrower bar code field option.
6 | In the Data mask field, type any number of characters or symbols to use for the mask. |
For example, if the borrower barcode is 14 characters and you want to only display the last 4 characters, type 10 asterisks (*). If the Label field value for the specified field option is set as “Barcode#”, the patron receipt may look something like this:
Barcode#**********0018
7 | You can also mask data by using the Max. Len. field to set the number of characters to display. |
For example, you can set the borrower first name field option to have a maximum length of 2 so that it only shows the first two letters of the first name.
8 | Click Save to save your settings, and then click Close to close the window. |
