Learn how to release and edit user barcodes in the Admin module.

Additional barcodes

This feature is only available for WorldShare Management Services (WMS) libraries.

When you change a user's barcode, the former barcode will appear in the WMS diagnostics section under Additional barcodes. If you attempt to add a previously assigned barcode to a user account without first releasing the barcode from the initial user account, an error message is displayed indicating a duplicate barcode record exists.

The release barcode function allows you to manage barcode updates for user accounts. You can change and reassign barcodes in order to correct issues such as duplicate file entries or barcode mismatches.

To release barcodes, you need at least one of the following roles:

  • Amministratore della circolazione
  • Amministratore utente
  • User Manager

See WorldShare Admin for more information on roles.

Change a user barcode

  1. Search for the user whose barcode you want to change.
  2. In the user account, on the Basic User Data accordion, click Edit.
  3. In the Circulation section, enter the new barcode.
  4. Fare clic su Salva.

The former barcode will now appear in the WMS diagnostics section as an additional barcode. The former barcode is inactive, but is still associated with the user account. 

Se si tenta di aggiungere un codice a barre assegnato in precedenza a un record dell'avventore senza prima liberare il codice a barre dal record iniziale dell'avventore, viene visualizzato un messaggio di errore che indica l'esistenza di un record di codice a barre duplicato.

Set a barcode as primary

Use the Set as primary button to restore one of the previous barcodes from within the WorldShare Admin interface. This action will set the barcode as the primary visible barcode in the patron profile. All other additional barcodes remain active barcodes for the patron in Circulation.

  1. Search for the user.
  2. In the user account, click the WMS diagnostics accordion.
  3. In the row of the desired barcode, select Set as primary.
  4. The barcode will be set as the primary barcode for the user account.

Release a user barcode

Releasing a barcode allows previously assigned, inactive barcodes to be reused. 

 Note:  If you want to reuse a barcode that is currently in use, you must first replace the existing barcode with a new one on the user account. Refer to Change a user barcode.

  1. Search for the user whose former barcode you want to release.
  2. In the user account, click the WMS diagnostics accordion.
  3. In the row of the barcode you want to release, click Release. 
  4. The released barcode will no longer display in the WMS diagnostics section and is available for use.
