There are two different types of users in the library. The defaults are Students and Staff, but the names for the groups can be configured for the individual library.
To add a new user, first choose the user type and then enter the user information into the displayed template. Adding a user at this point creates a new patron record in the patron file. This is helpful for guests in the library, or for new patrons whose full patron record has not yet been created. The user does need to have a barcode, but a temporary one can be assigned.
Editing a user makes changes to the patron record that is already in the Mandarin system.
