Polaris Patron Notification Preference (Carrier selection for mobile phone number added)
All Polaris Libraries can now choose to allow patrons to select their Patron Notification Preference in Vega Discover. In the Staff UI in the cog menu select Library Defaults > Patron Settings. Under Notification Preference check ‘Allow patrons to edit notice preference’. Then choose the types of notices that your library supports. When the ‘Allow patrons to edit notice preference’ setting is enabled patrons editing their Patron Profile will be able to select a notification preference. Enabled notice types will display to patrons for selection in their Patron Profile and notification preference selections that require patron data elements like email or phone numbers will not be selectable until that data is entered into the patron record. Additionally, a required carrier field has been added to the configuration of mobile phone numbers in the Polaris Patron profile.
