3 <h1>Patrons (anonymize, bulk-delete)</h1>
5 <p>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.</p>
8 <li>Once in the tool, you have two options</li>
9 <li>Check the box next to the action(s) you'd like to perform
11 <li>To delete borrowers, enter the date since the last time they borrowed</li>
12 <li>To anonymize circulation history enter the date before which you'd like that data deleted</li>
16 <h2>Is there a way to run this tool automatically?</h2>
17 <p>Not at this time.</p>
18 <h2>Will running this report sever the connection between patrons and items that are checked out to them currently?</h2>
19 <p>No, this report will only remove connections between patrons and items they have checked out in the past but have returned to the library.</p>
