To assign a card to a patron you will need to click on the Cards option in the side menu of Total Control, then click on the Add Card button in the top left corner.
Once the Add card screen has been displayed then you need to enter 3 pieces of information:
1. The Electronic Serial Number (ESN) that has been encoded into the card by the card manufacturer. The ESN is available by scanning the card and displaying the number into a text editor and should be entered into the Card Number Field.
2, The Printed Serial Number (PSN) is generally a number that has been printed on the card that would be unique within your organisation. ie Staff Number, Member Number etc. This information is entered into the PSN field.
3. The Display Name drop down list is where you will select a previously entered patron that this card will be assigned to.
Once you have added the required information don't forget to save the new card by clicking on the Save button.
