* Using the email address to link will only work if there is only one account using this email address.
Not from the staff interface. I would expect it to give you a list of all accounts that have that address that you could choose from, even if there is only one match, to confirm the correct patron. In the case that the match isn't someone in the system, you should have an option not to link. (i.e. A relative comes in, and has the same email address, but they are not any of the people that come up as a match)
* Searching for an existing patron account can only work in the staff interface and probably be limited by the visibility settings. In the OPAC this would be a security/data privacy issue.
It was implied that this would be related to staff functionality. The idea here is that we should be able to track notices/communications sent to the patron through Koha. We wouldn't need any such linking/tracking if the patron did this themselves on the OPAC. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
