Patron Registration in Mobile PAC

Mobile PAC supports online self-registration. To make this feature available and set self-registration options, use the PAC profile Patron access options. (Your settings for this profile also control self-registration for Polaris PowerPAC.) For more information, see Set up online patron self-registration.

When online self-registration is enabled and the user taps My Account, a Create one link is displayed on the log-on page.

Note:
To make the My Account link available, set the Mobile PAC profile Navigation: Patron account to Yes. See Patron Account (My Account) in Mobile PAC.

Self-registration in Mobile PAC is similar to Polaris PowerPAC functionality. When the user taps the registration link, the first screen displays the home library and postal code page. The user selects a registration branch, enters the postal code, and selects a country. When the user taps continue, the registration screen appears.

Required fields, verification blocks, recipient’s email address, and other aspects of self-registration are set in the PAC profile Patron access options. (You can also provide the option to receive renewal receipts by email, TXT message, or both. See Setting Up eReceipts.)

Note:
If the preferred notification method is set to email, an email address must be supplied. If the preferred method is phone, the patron must indicate the phone number to use for notification. If the patron chooses TXT Messaging, the patron must indicate the phone number to be used for TXT messages, and select a carrier for that number.
