[Wactclc-alma] [External] RE: Patron notes

[Herman, Amy]

We are using the new UI but decided our student workers at the circ desk might not notice the Notes, and still be better off with popups.  Our student workers also have roles that allow them to override blocks and edit patron records.  The only type of Block/popup description that was set up in our system was "Demerit" but we discovered you can set up different types of Block descriptions which is helpful in deciphering the Block notice.  For example, we created an "Update user information" Block description:

Now the popup shows up like this with a more appropriate explanation:

That will be helpful! I wonder if others were requesting this feature too, and ExLibris decided to address it through the new UI. Thanks for researching this, Shellie!

Following up on today's discussion about patron notes.

The patron notes don't pop-up (and require a response by the operator), but in the new UI they do display prominently when you access an account via Manage Patron services.  They aren't hidden on a separate tab like they were in the old UI.
