Rogan, Actually, Evergreen does track a single, "current" barcode from the patron record perspective. There's a field on the actor.usr table called card which points to the current user barcode. That's what's labeled "Current Card" in the User reporting source.
When scanning a card we have to look at the actor.card table (where all user barcodes live), so we are looking at things from another direction -- one that doesn't readily tell us which the user record considers "primary". I hope that helps clarify the ... duality ... of cards in Evergreen. :) On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 2:13 PM, Rogan Hamby <[email protected]> wrote: > Just a warning, Evergreen doesn't actually have a concept of current or > not-current though it has active and inactive.
