Registering Single Name Users

When registering patrons in WorkFlows, the last name field is required; however, there may be circumstances where the patron does not have a last name. In these cases, follow these steps to register the user.


  1. From the CIRC toolbar, use the User Registration wizard as normal to register the user.
  2. In the Last name field, insert a period (.). By adding the period, you can perform a duplicate check and save the user account.
  3. In the Extended Info tab, insert into the NOTE field "Patron has no last name".
  4. After saving the user account, use the Modify User wizard to modify the user.
  5. Remove the period (.) from the Last name field. 
  6. Click Save.
