You may wish to use this procedure during library closure to provide library cards to new patrons. The process gets a new library card number and PIN in the patron’s hands within about 24 hours or less of the patron’s online request. Here is how it works:
Patron fills out an online registration form which is located in the sign in page in your Enterprise. An email will be sent to the patron that contains a temporary user ID and a pin. Note: at this point the patron cannot log into eLibraryNJ as the temp card doesn't have the library prefix.
1) Use the Modify user wizard in Workflows to check the user info, and make sure the data is entered in a good format, such as street address, email, etc.2) replace the temp User ID with a permanent or provisional barcode.
If you have a roll of barcodes with you at home, you may simply take a barcode from the sheet, put it aside and mark it as used.If you don't have any barcodes with you at home or you would rather use some makeshift barcodes for now and update them later with real barcodes when patrons come into the library to get the physical card, LMxAC can generate a list of provisional barcodes for you to use.3) modify the temp user profile from TEMP to DATABASE4) renew the privilege for the user so that the right expiration date is applied for the modified profile
Therefore, for the process to work properly it must be attended to every day.
