[Koha] Report of patrons by categories

[Scott Kushner]

Yes, I ran something similar on our db once because all of the expiry dates were going to happen on the same day, a year after go-live date, 

 

It was..

 

UPDATE borrowers SET borrowers.dateexpiry = DATE_ADD("2010-10-17", INTERVAL ROUND(RAND()*720) DAY) WHERE borrowers.dateexpiry = "2010-10-17" AND borrowers.categorycode = "AR";

ByWater Solutions is being asked to look into batch patron modification, based on some of the work Kyle Hall has done.  I'm not sure if we've gotten the bug report filed yet, but I wanted to be sure to communicate that others have interest in such a tool, and effort is being put towards getting it integrated.

Cheers,

James is right, this will change the default expiry date for a
category. However he is also right this won't change the expiry dates
of existing patrons.
At the moment (in Koha 3.4.4) we have batch item modifications and are
tidying off batch biblio modifications. But there is currently no tool
for batch patron modifications.

If you have access to your database though, (or know someone who does)
you can ask them run some sql like like this
UPDATE borrowers SET dateexpiry = '2012-01-01' WHERE categorycode='A';

You might like to check bugs.koha-community.org to see if there is an
enhancement request for batch modifying patrons, and if not add one.
September 22 is the cut off date for new features for 3.6.0 so there's
still time :)
