PERSON DIALOG

The person dialog is where you enter details about a person. You get to this dialog by either selecting New Person, Edit Person or View Person from the People Tab on the main screen

You can customise the fields which appear on this dialog, and the captions for each field. See the Columns Used for People tab within the Display Options dialog for further information. The following fields, and those shown in the screenshot above, are the fields which are available by default:

Person ID - is automatically generated when a new record is created, and cannot be changed
Barcode ID - defaults to the ID of the person, but can be changed to any value. This is the value encoded into the barcode on a person card.
First Name - enter the first name of the person.
Surname - enter the surname of the person.
Address - enter the address of the person (optional)
Phone Number - enter the phone number of the person (optional)
View History - this allows you to view the history for this person - i.e. when items were loaned out, returned, etc... See Person History for further information.
View Picture (not shown by default) - when the "picture" column is enabled in the Display Options dialog a button will be shown next to the View History button. Clicking on this button will bring up a new dialog. A JPEG image can be loaded from a file using this dialog and stored against the person. Storing of large size images against many person records may severely reduce performance in Baslogue. It is recommended that you make the image files as small as possible. Also, be aware that the Database Edition of Baslogue will handle a large number of images more efficiently than the Standalone Edition.
