This system is indended to replace the old opacnotes
and borrowernotes fields in the borrowers table.
This system allows an unlimited number of Libraran and OPAC notes to be
attached to a borrower. Each note has a message, a message type,
the data it was created, and which library created it.
Each message can only be deleted by the library that created it unless the syspref
AllowAllMessageDeletion has been set.
This system may be used simultaneously with the old notes system and does not affect it in any way.
A new database table (messages) was added for this feature.
The System also allows for pre-defined notes for Borrower records
To use these, just create authorised values with the category BOR_NOTES
where the Authorized Value is the short description shown in the pulldown,
and the description is the text that should be in the note.
