Description Emily Lamancusa (emlam) 2025-07-23 18:01:37 UTC
If a patron forgets their library card, it is common in our system for them to present an ID, which staff will use to search for their account. Our staff have shared feedback that in this situation, the preferred name feature can make it harder to quickly identify the correct account  when there are multiple results, because they don't know if the display name will match the name on the ID or not.

We should add a way to view the firstname on the patron search results page for those situations where the firstname is needed to identify the correct account.
