Consortia - base mobile app home library on stat code
Sometimes users that live in the tax area (municipality, etc) of library A sign up for their card at library B. In this case, the registered at library is B, and the stat code is A. The stat code controls access to Overdrive and the like-services paid for by library A. We would like the app, after sign in, to select the library it display based on stat code, rather than registered at

In our library system, it sounds like the equivalent fields are home library and p type (we are on Sierra).The mobile app uses Home Library to load the template, but we use P Type on the back end to designate which library someone belongs to for OverDrive and similar services. We have stat codes but use them for something else.
So what would be most helpful is letting the organization choose which patron field(s) to use for default location-based stuff.
