Duplicate Detection Options Dialog Box

To open this dialog box:
In Polaris Administration, select Parameters > Patron Services > Duplication detection options.

When you save a patron record, Polaris automatically checks for duplicate records. Polaris always checks the patron name fields (first, middle, and last names), barcode, and birth date (if any) for matches. Use this dialog box to set additional duplicate detection criteria. You can select a maximum of two from the list of user-defined fields. There is no selection limit in the other sections. The system uses the registration library’s settings. See Setting Patron Duplicate Detection.
