Add support for a patron's preferred pickup area in Polaris
Polaris supports a preferred pickup branch for patrons. This request is to extend that support to allow the patron to set a preferred pickup area.
Many patrons prefer to 100% always use a particular pickup area, for example outside lockers. So, they shouldn't have to select that area everytime they make a request.
This would allow them to set their own preferred pickup area the way they can set a preferred pickup branch. This preferred pickup area should also be used when the staff bulk places a title on hold for a batch of patrons, again the same way the preferred pickup area is used.

Although in an ideal world, I suppose it might be nice for the patron to have a preferred area for "each" branch. Just extending the single branch + preferred pickup location would be a huge help for us. In fact renaming this setting/option from preferred to default might better reflect that there can only be one per patron account.
