Monday Minutes: Custom Patron Slips

In this week's Monday Minutes, Kelly and Jessie show how to create a new slip for patrons that can be printed directly from the patron's account.

Tools- Slips

For libraries to utilize this new option, they will need to create a new notice within Notices and Slips. When creating a new notice, the option is Patron (Custom Slip).

1. Choose to create a new notice- Patron (Custom Slip) and then fill out the CODE

2. Give this notice a name. The name will display in the option when printing this out from the patron's account.

3. Use the Print tab when creating your slip.

This is the example we shared during the video:

Patron has [% borrower.holds.count %] holds

List of holds:
[% FOREACH hold IN borrower.holds %]
===============================
Reserve id: [% hold.reserve_id %]
Title [% hold.biblio.title %]
[% END %]

This will show all the patron holds.

Patron's Account

The new Patron Custom Slip will appear in the Print drop-down menu from the patron's account!
