Our use case would be to ask patrons for their DOB instead of their name when we have to look them up manually to save time. For instance if a patron called over the phone to renew their checkouts and their name was Jonh Deduaknouski we could ask them DOB instead of having them tediously spell out their name. Same for when patrons inside the building don't have their library card. If we have their picture on file it would be much quicker to ask for DOB instead of verifying how they spell their last name, or potentially with a name like John Smith that may have multiple results and we will have to ask their DOB anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
