Patrons (anonymize, bulk-delete)
This tool allows you to bulk anonymize circulation histories or bulk delete patron records. This means that the system keeps a link between old loans and their items but severs the link to the borrower.
- Once in the tool, you have two options
- Check the box next to the action(s) you'd like to perform
- To delete borrowers, enter the date since the last time they borrowed
- To anonymize circulation history enter the date before which you'd like that data deleted
Is there a way to run this tool automatically?
Not at this time.
Will running this report sever the connection between patrons and items that are checked out to them currently?
No, this report will only remove connections between patrons and items they have checked out in the past but have returned to the library.
