New User Registration Wizard
The New User Registration wizard is used to register a new user for your library. Depending on how wizard properties are set and if patron photos are configured to appear for your library, it can also be used to add a photo to the user record.
To register a new user
|
1
|
In the Users group, click the New User Registration wizard. |
The Identify New User window displays.

In the User ID box, scan the user’s ID. |
Note: If the Auto-generated User ID property is selected in the wizard properties to generate a user ID automatically, the User ID field will not display on the User Registration window.
If the wizard properties are set to not auto-generate a user ID, you can still auto-generate an ID by typing AUTO in the User ID box during registration.

In the Profile Name list, select the user profile you want. |
The User Registration window displays.
Note: If your library uses the barcode validation feature, a message appears if you type or scan a user ID with an invalid barcode format in the User ID field. You must scan or type a valid user ID in the User ID field before continuing.

Important Considerations When Using this Wizard
|
•
|
You should designate both a postal address and an email address in the Addresses tab as the primary address. This allows you to send email notices to patrons who want them, and generate postal address information for collection agencies with the Debt Collection reports if desired. |
|
•
|
You can add additional information such as notes and comments on the Extended Information tab and Addresses tab. Use the Before and After helpers to add entry boxes before or after the entry field in which the insertion point (cursor) is positioned. Use the Delete helper to delete an entry field. |
|
•
|
If your library permits users to have multiple user IDs, the User ID Manager helper may be available for you to create additional user IDs for a user. |
