New Report Subscription to List New User Records

by SWAN Communications

SWAN Member Library Circulation Staff, We have created a new report subscription that will take the place of the List all Users Created with Patron Point Yesterday currently being delivered daily. The new report is called List All Users Created Last Week and will be delivered Monday mornings on a weekly basis beginning Monday, October 27. The new report will list all user records created for your library, not just those created by Patron Point. The results include the User Category 6 field to identify which records were created with Patron Point. You can find more information about this in the New Subscription to List New User Records<https://swanlibraries.net/news/2025-10/95007> news article on the SWAN site.
