[Koha] circulation overdues report

[George Williams]

Igor,

I'm assuming that you're using Koha 24.11.  If you are, there are three 
ways you can make the patron information on Koha's built in Overdues 
report more secure.

Option 1 -- If your primary concern is having the borrower's name 
displayed on the screen, but you still want staff to be able to click 
directly to the borrower's account, you can go to

  * Home > Administration > System preferences
  * Then go to Staff interface preferences
  * Then scroll down to Options
  * Then change the preference "HidePatronName" from "Show" to "Don't show"

This will take the borrower's name off of the report and only show you 
the card number (which will link to the borrower's account).  It still 
displays the phone number and has a link to the e-mail address, so this 
is more secure if your concern is to get the borrower's name off of the 
screen, but it doesn't go as far as you suggest you want to go in your 
initial e-mail.

-----

Option 2 -- If you want to remove 100% of the data from the display but 
still give your staff the option to display the information if needed,

  * Click the Configure tool at the top of the table (this will take you
    to Home > Administration > Table settings > Circulation > Overdues >
    Table id: circ-overdues)
  * Check "Is hidden by default" checkbox in the "patron" row
  * Then click "Save"

This will remove the "Patron" column from the Overdues report, but if a 
staff member still needs the data, they can still use the "Columns" tool 
to turn the column back on.

-----

Option 3 - If you want to remove 100% of the data from the display and 
make it impossible for staff to retrieve it

  * Click the Configure tool at the top of the table (this will take you
    to Home > Administration > Table settings > Circulation > Overdues >
    Table id: circ-overdues)
  * Check the "Is hidden by default" checkbox in the "patron" row
  * Check the "Cannot be toggled" checkbox in the "patron" row
  * Then click "Save"

This removes the "Patron" column from the report and removes the 
controls for that column from the column configuration tool so that no 
one can enable the column in the future.
