Demographics Tab
The Demographics tab displays when creating user records or modifying user information. The Demographics tab contains the following statistical information.
| • | Age |
| • | Birth Date |
| • | Department |
| • | Language |
| • | User Categories |
This Age field displays when the Birthdate field is turned on. Age is calculated based on the birthdate. The Age field displays does not display on the New User Registration or the Copy User wizards.
This field is an optional, numeric statistical category that contains the user’s complete birth date. The label can be something other than Birthdate. Because the field is optional, it can be configured not to display.
This field is an optional, free-text statistical category that the library decides how to use. The label can be named something other than department, and can be configured not to display.
The Language field is required. Select a language from the drop-down list. Notices sent to the user will be in the specified language. The languages presented in this list are defined in the Language policy.
These demographic fields contain values from the User Category1-User Category12 policies. Your library decides what type of information will be used in these fields and labels them appropriately. The generic SirsiDynix Symphony labels for these fields are user cat1, user cat2, user cat3, user cat4, user cat5, user cat6, user cat7, user cat8, user cat9, user cat10, user cat11, and user cat12.
