Personal ID Num (PIN) in patron record

PINs for Self Check-out

If this option is enabled, the Graphical Self Check-Out product requires patrons to enter their PINs before they can check out items. To allow patrons to enter their PINs, you must connect a keyboard or a keypad to the PC. Note that if you connect a keypad, patrons can enter numeric PINs only.

PINs for SelfCheck Units

If your SelfCheck units are configured to prompt patrons for their PINs, you must have Innovative enable this option. The system cannot validate a patron's PIN unless this option is enabled.

To determine the PINs your patrons can use at your SelfCheck units, contact your SelfCheck unit vendor to determine whether your SelfCheck units support numeric-only keypads or alphanumeric keyboards.

• If your SelfCheck units support numeric PINs only, patrons with numeric-only PINs can use your library's SelfCheck units.
• If your SelfCheck units support alphanumeric PINs, patrons with alphanumeric PINs can use your library's SelfCheck units.
• If you want PIN verification disabled for your SelfCheck units, contact Innovative. You can choose to disable PIN verification for SelfCheck only and retain PIN verification for all other relevant functionality.
