[Koha] Question regarding patron anonymization

[Andy Boze]

Hi, all.

We regularly run the patron anonymization script as documented at < 
https://koha-community.org/manual/21.11/en/html/cron_jobs.html#anonymize-patron-data 
 >. The documentation doesn't go into details of exactly what the script 
does.

The documentation for the batch patron anonymization < 
https://koha-community.org/manual/21.11/en/html/tools.html#batch-patron-deletion-anonymization 
 > say "This tool allows you to bulk anonymize circulation 
histories...", by which I assume it means it will replace the 
borrowernumber in the old_issues table with that of the anonymous patron.

I'm wondering whether any anonymization is supposed to occur in the 
statistics table. Our statistics table goes back several years, and I 
don't see any anonymization of the borrowernumber there.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Andy
