Barred should only be used if the patron has more than one card in the system with charges/fines on all cards. Or you can create a group (see note).
When you bar a patron please put a note on the Extended Info tab in the note field. The note should be in this format; HLC-TW-1/29/2015:The patron has another record in the system, ID #00000000. When the patron returns the items or pays the fines on this record the accounts will be combined.
If you have another reason you feel is appropriate to bar a patron please check with me. These policies are set by Operation Taskforce.
*Note: to group the patrons duplicate records do the following:
Open Modify User
Bring the first user record up
Click on the User Groups tab
Put in a unique User Group Name (you can use the alt id or one of the users barcodes)
Select Parent in the Responsibility Policy
Click save
Modify another user
Bring the second user record up
Click on the User Groups tab
Put in the Name you assigned to the first user
Select Child in the Responsibility Policy
Click save (you will be prompted to add to the group, click ok)
