On the Ninth Day of (insert your favorite holiday) ----SWAN elves gave to me

Whether  you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Festivus, the Winter Solstice, or none of the above – SWAN would like to share 12 days of “gifts” with you.  

Gift #9 --- Have you ever thought when searching for a patron “it would be so helpful if I could see the birthdate of this patron”?  This can easily be accomplished --just open a ticket at help@swanlibraries.net  and request that the Birthdate column be enabled in the User Search Helper.  This additional column when searching is not only a time saver, but a way to accurately retrieve the correct user record. The birthdate column will be visible in “Display User”, “Modify User”, “User Registration” and “Copy User”.  This can be of great assistance when you are searching a common name.
