Re: [IUG] Home Library field in Patron record

Lucy,

I don't know of a way to restrict the codes list when entering Home
Library.  It sounds like a great enhancement request!  (Shameless plug
for enhancements.)  

We got around this problem by naming our library branch codes so they
sort to the top of the list.  Our codes for our branches are 1main,
2hrmy, etc.  We get very few errors in the Home Library field.

We have a small number of Branch (location) codes which represent our
four library sites, each site code also has its own locations served
policy. Also we have a large number of Branch codes which represent
specific locations in each library. In our patron records we only ever
use the library site codes in the Home Library field. I was wondering
if
it is possible to limit the list of locations that appear when you
click
on Home Library in a patron record to only display the 4 branch/site
codes. Has anyone done this? It would make it easier for staff to
enter/update this field and cut down the number of errors.
