Associate a Patron with Your Site

Districts often share more than just resources; they also share personnel. In addition, students may attend classes at more than one school. Although each user, referred to as a patron, is assigned a primary site, Destiny can associate them with multiple schools across the district.

Patrons associated with more than one site will see next to the their school name in the page header and can easily switch between sites without logging out.

Depending on your permissions, you may see next to the primary site of patrons associated with more than one site. Users with Add/Edit patrons permission can edit patrons associated with their school. A District Patrons Manager or users with the Search for patrons across the district permission can add a site association to patrons of other sites.

To view all sites associated with and a patron to your site:

1. Select Admin > Manage Patrons.

   Note: If you are logging in as a District User, select District in the upper right corner, and then Admin > Manage Patrons.

3. In the Find field, scan or type the patron’s barcode number, or type a keyword (such as a patron’s name).
4. Press Enter, or click Search.
   

   Note: If a patron is deleted from his or her primary school, the school with the oldest secondary association becomes the patron’s new primary school.
