Learn how to add patrons to the Blocklist and edit existing blocked patrons.

The Blocklist screen allows you to manually add patrons you want to block from being able to place reservations (e.g., a patron repeatedly places reservations and does not pick up the items). Patrons added to this list will be blocked regardless of their status in the ILS during authentication. To access the Blocklist screen from the Staff Console, click Blocklist.

  • By default, 50 blocked patrons are shown. Select a number from the Show entries drop-down list to change the number of blocked patrons you see per page.
  • Use the Search Blacklist text field to search by name, card number, or note.
  • You can sort blocked patrons by name, card number, or note.
