We'd like to be alerted when a patron who was marked as juvenile (the checkbox based on their birth date) is now over 18. The goal would be to catch those now-adults and change their library card type from Juvenile to Adult, so they are now responsible for their library card rather than their parent. We would also enter their ID information, and remove the parent's ID (typically their driver's license).
The staff notification could be just a alert message. We'd like to avoid having to look at an expired account and calculate whether that patron is now an adult, so please no solutions involving math. :) We've run a report for patrons who have Juvenile accounts but are 18+, and there are hundreds. I'm guessing we're on our own fixing these ones, but maybe there is a miracle out there for adding the alert to these accounts too? Thanks!
