[Wactclc-alma] [External] FW: Alma July 2019 Release Highlights

I'm curious how to set a note to be a pop up.  I haven't seen any instructions and it's not obvious to me.  Our current workaround is that we created a custom "block" called an "Update user info" block, and that block pops up when a patron tries to check out an item...

These two are both super exciting for Pierce!

•             Idea Exchange – Pop-Up User Notes - User notes can now be defined to appear as pop-up notes in Manage Patron Services so that the librarian can inform the patron of any important messages.
•             Idea Exchange  - Preferred Name Display - When Preferred First Name, Preferred Middle Name, or Preferred Last Name, are populated on the User Details page, they now replace the main First Name, Middle Name and Last Name fields in all places that the name appears within Alma.

I’m wondering if y’all heard anything about these two at ELUNA, specifically preferred name. If a user is external and loaded by SMS, will our system just override their preferred name?

Thanks!
Lesley

Dear Colleagues,

Lots of great new developments this month, including SEVEN Idea Exchange items, and ONE NERS Enhancement.
Our login picture for July features the Haifa University Library, Israel. Library staff sent us an apt quote from Cicero:
"Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, nihil deerit."
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
