Patron Registration & Editing : Creating a Patron Record : Duplicate Checking
 

Duplicate Checking

There is an additional system feature you may encounter when creating Patron Records.

The Patron ID index, and/or the Barcode index, can be checked for duplicate entries to prevent the creation of a duplicate record for the same patron.

For example, after entering the data in the ID wizard prompt, and clicking on the Next button or using the Enter key, the system searches the index of patron IDs.



If the system finds a duplicate record, it will display in a separate window. If the system finds more than one duplicate record, the system will display a browse list of the records.



To replace the record you are creating with the entry that has been found, choose the Use Patron Record button.

Millennium Circulation then retrieves the Patron Record to use for checkout or other functions.
