Hi Jason Thanks, this was helpful. The notes aren't showing in the patron side because they are deleted in the message center even though they are still appearing in the staff side 'notes'.

I don't think so, but the notes you see in the staff client (under Other -> Notes) are not quite the same thing that a patron sees in the OPAC. The ones in the staff client exist in a table called actor.usr_note. The ones in the OPAC exist in a table called actor.usr_message. There's a trigger that will copy entries from usr_note to usr_message for notes flagged as Patron Visible (or "pub" in the database). Patrons can delete their entries and the original entries in usr_note would remain untouched. You can try Other -> Message Center from within the staff client to help troubleshoot; it should match what the patron sees in the OPAC. Let me know if that helps. -- Jason Etheridge Senior Developer Equinox Open Library Initiative phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) email: [email protected] web: http://EquinoxInitiative.org
