Change request:
Substitute patron barcodes for patron numbers
Patron card creator is working with something called a batch. A batch is a list
of patron numbers where patron number is the koha internal index of a patron.
Unfortunately the patron number is to my knowledge a patron property that is
not known elsewhere. E.g. it is not shown when displaying patron details. But
even in the patron search part of patron card creator that number is not shown.
In the patron search we see e.g. name and barcode of the patron.
Patron barcodes are familiar and found in many reports, in patron import and in
patron displays.
I suggest to replace the list of patron numbers by a list of patron barcodes.
Patron barcodes are also unique identifers of patrons, an unambigous index into
the borrowers table. An entered barcode not necessarily identifies an existing
patron. However an entered patron number is not more reliable since a patron
may have been deleted or may not be existent.
