https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15765 Bug ID: 15765 Summary: Request to replace patron number list by patron barcode list Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: 3.22 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Label/patron card printing Assignee: cnighswonger@foundations.edu Reporter: Heinrich.Hartl@email.de QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Change request: Substitute patron barcodes for patron numbers Patron card creator is working with something called a batch. A batch is a list of patron numbers where patron number is the koha internal index of a patron. Unfortunately the patron number is to my knowledge a patron property that is not known elsewhere. E.g. it is not shown when displaying patron details. But even in the patron search part of patron card creator that number is not shown. In the patron search we see e.g. name and barcode of the patron. Patron barcodes are familiar and found in many reports, in patron import and in patron displays. I suggest to replace the list of patron numbers by a list of patron barcodes. Patron barcodes are also unique identifers of patrons, an unambigous index into the borrowers table. An entered barcode not necessarily identifies an existing patron. However an entered patron number is not more reliable since a patron may have been deleted or may not be existent. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
