Configure Display Of User Information Header Policy

On SirsiDynix Symphony systems, a detailed user information header can be displayed at the top of circulation wizard windows. The information header displays user information that typically appears in the user glossaries of circulation wizards. The Configure Display Of User Information Header policy determines how much user information is displayed in the following circulation wizard window headers.

Bill a User
Checkout
Pay Bill
Renew User Charges

The Configure Display Of User Information Header policy is a Global Configuration policy that is read by the WorkFlows client at startup and stored as a global variable. This policy appears on the Circulation tab of the Global Configuration wizard. From the Modify Setting window, you can modify this policy. The default value for this policy appears in the Select a Policy window. To modify this value, select Configure Display Of User Information Header and click Modify. Click a radio button to select one of the policy attributes. Click Save to save your selection. By default, brief user information appears for all SirsiDynix Symphony systems.

Attributes

This policy contains the following attributes.

Display Brief User Information

Click this option to display only brief user information, typically user ID and profile name. By default, this option is selected.

Note: If you select this attribute and patron photos are configured to display globally in the Display Of User Photograph Policy and in your individual library's policy, WorkFlows will ignore this attribute and switch the display type to an expanded user information display.

The Display Of User Photograph Policy is configured in the Global Configuration Wizard. Individual library policies are configured in the Library Wizard.

Display Expanded User Information

Click this option to display expanded user information, such as name, user ID, group ID, and profile name. For performance issues, sites may use this selection to display the same fields that appear in a patron photo display, but without the photo (Display Patron Photographs feature is not configured).

Display User Status Information

Click this option to display user information and also user status information, including overdues, bills, holds, user category information, and more. Patron photos may appear in this header if the Display Patron Photographs feature is configured.
