Entering new accounts
When entering new accounts in to LEAP, we enter the patron zip code and the city is automatically filled out. At Phoenix libraries, if the city is not Phoenix, we have to remember to change the patron code to Maricopa and the expiration date to only one year. Could these 2 fields also be automatically filled out by the zip code information. It would save a lot of jumping from the top of the registration form to the bottom and back...and could save mistakes when we have a LOT of outreach library card forms to enter.

In general, it would be helpful to tie the expiry date to the patron type, and let us configure it. In our consortium, only Resident patrons have a 3 year expiry. All others, such as Non-Resident, Teacher, Student, Reciprocal, have a 1 year expiry, and frequently, changing that due to patron type is overlooked, which is difficult to clean up.
