Customize layout & Field Visibility in patron View/Edit Record
In the Patron View/Edit Record window the group of fields at the top cannot be arranged in any way but the default. It would be nice to be able to arrange these fields in a way that meets the needs and use of our staff. For example, I would like to be able to put all the editable fields in the first 1-2 columns, such as exp date, language, notice preference, patron type. Then all the uneditable fields (total checkouts, total renewals, circ active...) to the right of these columns. It would be nice to have a sort of drag and drop, or maybe a column editor/arranger that we could move these fields around, and as a added bonus, remove some fields from the view all together.

shared this idea
We appreciate the suggestion and have carefully evaluated it with the Sierra engineering team. Unfortunately, this enhancement would require a significant redesign of how fixed fields are displayed within Sierra. Since the fields are displayed in numerical field order, providing configurable layouts and visibility controls would involve considerable development effort and impact core system behavior. For that reason, we are not planning to pursue this enhancement at this time. We value the feedback and will continue to consider customer input as we evaluate future product priorities.
