Description Chris Kirby 2016-12-13 16:56:59 UTC
When a librarian creates a patron account, the username field defaults to firstname.lastname. However, many libraries change the default username to the patron cardnumber, or email address when they set up a new patron account. It would be useful if there were a branch level or system level preference for default username with the following choices:
1)firstname.lastname
2)patron cardnumber
3)primary email address
