[Wactclc-alma] Students with only a first name

[Dale Burke]

Hello all,

Are any of you having issues related to the patron load for students with
only a last name and no first name?

We have 6 international students who have no first name.  Their records are
being rejected in the patron loads because of a missing first name.  How
does your registration area handle this particular issue?  Do they put a
special character in the first name field, or are some of your students
also being rejected.

You can find the rejected students by looking at the "View Alternative
Report" from history tab of the monitor jobs screen.

Thanks!
