Hi Deanna,
If a patron goes into their online account, under "account
preferences," there is a tab "search preferences" where they can
select (or deselect) "Keep history of checked out items?"
Just a note that in later versions of Evergreen, the tab was renamed
"search & history preferences." I can't remember when that change was
introduced, so I don't know what you'll see in 2.3.
I have turned on the "tag circulated items in results" flag in the
library settings editor, but still am unable to find where patrons
turn on the tracking!
I also wanted to send along a caution that this setting, although
utilizing the circulation history, does something that you may not have
intended. Once a patron opts into tracking their circulation history,
this setting will highlight items on the search results page that were
previously circulated to the patron. I've never tested it myself and
don't know much more about the feature, but I thought you should know in
case it's not something you wanted to do.

Hello,
I have read that the Evergreen catalog allows patrons to turn on
circulation history tracking. Can someone tell me where to find
the command to toggle this on? I have turned on the "tag
circulated items in results" flag in the library settings editor,
but still am unable to find where patrons turn on the tracking!
Is there a script that needs to be run on the server to get this
setting to take effect?
We are using Evergreen 2.3.2.
Thanks,
