Thanks again, Caroline. I've tried creating additional attributes and then adding them to a patron record. The problem I'm finding is that the additional identifiers don't seem to be usable in the same way as the patron's card number. For example, on the self-checkout page, it will only accept patron card numbers and not any other attributes, even if they are unique and searchable. And there's a similar problem in the staff client for check-outs, where I can only use patron name or card number. Is there any way to get Koha to search for those attributes in addition to card number of patron name? The only way I see to search on those attributes is to go into the patron module and use the search filter. Andy On 2/4/2022 5:10 PM, Caroline Cyr-La-Rose wrote:
Hi Andy!
This would be possible with Patron attributes. You could create an attribute type (Administration > Patron attribute types) for each additional credential, making sure to specify that the attribute is a "unique identifier" and is "searchable".
If you have questions, let me know.

Hi, all.
My campus is starting to investigate implementation of digital IDs for students. This would allow them to use their android, iphone, or apple watch digital wallet in place of their standard ID card. They would have up to three unique credentials that act like barcode numbers — the ID card number itself, a phone credential and a watch credential. If this is implemented essentially we would have to store up to three “barcodes” per patron. Is there any way to accommodate this in Koha?
Thanks!
Andy
