Fair warning on that:

If the barcode in question is not the patron's current *primary* barcode then there is no way outside of direct database access to flag that barcode as inactive prior to 2.2.

The "Replace Barcode" code moves the current primary barcode to a secondary non-active barcode and creates a new active primary barcode. No other cards on the patron are affected.

Hi Gordana,

You can mark a patron's barcode inactive in the staff client by replacing the barcode in the patron's account. When you edit a patron's record you can choose "Replace Barcode" and enter in the new barcode. After you save the changes, the old barcode will be inactive.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sharon,
Thanks for pointing that out. I found it but what happens is it makes the patron inactive. What we would like to do is mark only one barcode inactive...one was added to the record that is incorrect. It's actually a different patron's barcode. So when we use it, we bring up the wrong patron.
Thanks though!

Under the question "Internet Access Level" is "Active" with a box and there should be a check mark in the box. Click in the box and it should uncheck and the card will be inactive.

*Subject:* [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] marking a patron barcode inactive

Hi there,
I'm trying to mark a patron barcode as inactive but, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it! Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's obvious but I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks!
Gordana
