[Koha-devel] Unrequiring requirements

[Owen Leonard]

A couple of requests from Nelsonville:

We'd like to *un*require the enry of alternate contact information. We'd like 
to be able to add and update member records without entering data for alternate 
contact (it'd be nice to have this be a system preference I guess).  Currently 
we ask for an alternate contact when a patron fills out a registration card but 
we don't store it in the computer.  That means that when we load our patron 
data into Koha, every record will lack that information.  We want to be able to 
update information in those old records without being forced to dig up the 
paper form in a file somewhere.

We'd also like to be able to add juvenile patron records without making them a 
'child' of another record.  I see that you can 'Add Adult' and then change the 
membership category.  Is that the best alternative?  Change the template to say 
'Add Patron' and leave it at that?
