[Wactclc-alma] Anonymization issue which I don't think we discussed yet

[Dale Burke]

What an interesting interpretation.

Dale and all,



I might know why you are seeing this…



It could be because of the “retain last loan” anonymization rule you have
in place.



If all of those items showing up on the ‘returns’ tab of those users have
not be checked out again yet, that loan transaction is retained until
someone else checks the item out.



I checked out an item on my record that was previously checked out and
returned by one of your examples.



I’ll check tomorrow, after the anonymization job has run, to see if that
return disappears from the user’s account.

Hello all,



Edmonds was under the belief that our anonymization rules were working
correctly; however, we have recently discovered a new wrinkle.



Loans are being anonymized as we expected; however, returns are not being
anonymized.  If we look at a patron record we no longer see what the patron
checked out, but we do see everything they returned, so one can assumed
that if they returned an item they probably checked it out.  Anonymizing
only half of the transaction doesn't seem useful.



We have looked around and think we have everything coded correctly, but
still wonder if we missed something or if Alma isn't considering returns as
part of the anonymization process.



Anyone else seeing the same thing?



Thanks!
