Description Mohsin 2022-03-03 12:11:49 UTC
I need to add secondary identification field for patron to add RFID UID number in it and also use this as patron identifier as card number using sip2
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2022-03-05 23:08:24 UTC
Where do you store your RFID UID? Is storing it in username or cardnumber no option?
Comment 2 Mohsin 2022-03-07 08:03:35 UTC
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?
Comment 4 Mohsin 2022-07-19 05:54:15 UTC
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)

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.
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2023-06-17 16:34:37 UTC
I believe this has been resolved by changing the configuration using a unique patron attribute for an additional identifier.
