• Prefix for guest passes

• Password label
  • This field allows you to prepend the guest password. Some libraries will add the initials of their library or branch to specify.

Printing the Passes

From the administration, click on Multiple guests on the right-hand side.

This will populate a modal window where you can view and print the guest passes. This information is populated from the settings we set above. If you want to make changes, you can modify in administration.
