Customising Patron Records
We have installed Koha 2.2.9 on Windows XP and intend using it for a university library situation. We would like to change the configuration of the patron record so that the Alternate Contacts section is able to be used for student name, Academic department and id number. We would also like these fields to be searchable. Is this possible? Thank you Irene Sachs _________________________________________________________________ Find the job of your dreams before someone else does http://mycareer.com.au/?s_cid=596064

I've been doing some work importing patron lists from elsewhere into Koha. I found that the fields called "sort1" and "sort2" can be used for whatever you wish.

Also keep in mind that it may not matter where Koha stores the information, as long as the interface displays the information with the label you want. You have the option of changing the templates to match your requirements. Of course this doesn't solve your need to be able search on those fields, but Koha's patron searching is pretty primitive, so I'm not sure you're any worse off than the rest of us ;-) -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
