Patron Preferred Name and Name Search Keywords ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Preferred Name ++++++++++++++ Adds a new set of patron preferred name fields for prefix, first, middle, last, and suffix allowing patrons to provide preferred name information. Preferred names are optional and each acts as an overlay to the analogous primary name field, making it possible to provide preferred name values for individual fields. For example, a patron named William Erickson may have a preferred first name (pref_first_given_name) of Bill, in which case the preferred name would be Bill Erickson. Note a preferred last name is not required in this case as the code uses primary name values as defaults when not replaced with a preferred version. * Patrons will see primary names displayed in the catalog when set. * Staff will see both primary name and preferred name in the patron summary side bar. * Patron searches for any given name field will search both the primary and preferred name data. * Preferred name fields are available in Action/Trigger templates and are present in various patron-focused print templates. Name Keywords ++++++++++++++ Adds a new field to store miscellaneous patron name search terms. These values are only for searching and do not appear in any interfaces, apart from the patron summary side bar and the patron edit UI. Included is a new search field in the patron search UI which searches keyword values and all other name fields. It's essentially a global patron name keyword search.
