Where do you store your RFID UID? Is storing it in username or cardnumber no option? Fischer , card number and userid is already occupied with Internal Student ID and OPAC login ID . You can convert any string in barcode and use it but in RFID , there is either UID or you own data on it which is quite different then generating barcode.So if we able to add a new column in Borrower table for RFID UID , it may work. Just a suggestion: we usually use one identifier that the patron uses for login in the OPAC and another, that is used at the self check/circulation desk. If you can, you could move one of your IDs to a unique patron attribute. They can be used for patron import, if that is an issue. Maybe the Internal Student ID could be moved? Fischer, YEs. thats what i did. I use one attribute " initial" and used it as secondary id but you know its bit confusing or may raise a issue if later library wants to use this. So thats hwy i need to know how i can add a new unique attribute filed in borrowers.(In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #3) > Just a suggestion: we usually use one identifier that the patron uses for > login in the OPAC and another, that is used at the self check/circulation > desk. > If you can, you could move one of your IDs to a unique patron attribute. > They can be used for patron import, if that is an issue. Maybe the Internal > Student ID could be moved? You can add patron attributes from Administration after activating the ExtendedPatronAttributes system preference. If you choose for it to be 'unique', it will be available as a match point for patron imports. I believe this has been resolved by changing the configuration using a unique patron attribute for an additional identifier. |
