Adding A Customer


Screenshot
     


Description
When an individual wants to borrow books from the library and does not possess a library card (is not a member of this library), they will have to be added to the database first. All necessary information will be recorded for the individual and a customer ID number will be created and assigned to that new customer by the system.


How To Use This Function
  1. From the Customer Administration Menu, click on the "Add" button
  2. Fill in ALL of the information fields. NOTE: If you change any of the fields that have a default value (restricted information), you will need to input the supervisor password after step #2.
  3. Press the "Add" button.
     The system will check to see if there are any duplicate customers that have the same first and last name. If this occurs, the system will automatically bring up the "Search Customer" window with all of the current information filled in and the list of the duplicate customers found where you can view their information (see the "Search Customer" section for more detail). It will then prompt you on whether or not you would still like to add the customer to the system.
     To exit from here without adding any customer data, select the "Quit" button.


Error Recognition And Handling
Appropriate information for field(s) is not filled in. (i.e. Title is not filled/entered in)
Message: a window appears stating 'Field "Title" must have a value.'
Handling: Left click 'OK' button to continue.
