Optional PAPI parameter to NOT send confirmation email to patrons
Currently in SA->Parameters->PowerPAC->Patron access: Contact info update there is an option to turn on/off the Confirmation e-mail to patrons. This is a nice feature when patron's change their email or phone online. However, there are times when we need to change that information via PAPI and the patron doesn't need a confirmation email.
For example, we have a partnership with our local public school. If the contact information changes for a student, it needs to be updated in the library account as well. In that case, the patron does not need a confirmation email sent.

This is already supported through using the "ignoreSA" flag on the PAPI call. If that is set to "true" the email will not be sent to the patron.

Oh great! Honestly the documentation on the ignoreSA flag is a little hazy but if that is what it does then excellent! Thank you.
