Patron Record Property Fields Definitions (Data Fields, Holds, Fines & Bookings) (Create Lists)
Some fields in Create Lists store record properties from your system's database. You can search on these fields just as you do with standard fixed-length and variable-length fields. In some cases, the fields duplicate data found in the standard fields. The property fields for patron records appear in the Data Fields, Holds, Fines, and Bookings tabs.
