Add "Previous User" in Manage Patron Services
It would be great to have feature to see the last previous user that you pulled up in the Manage Patron Services Patron Identification page. We often find ourselves needing to look up information on the patron who we just checked out materials too.

When we scan the barcode of a patron using a scanner instead of typing it in manually, that patron does not get added to the previous user list. Can anyone tell us if this is expected functionality? Or is there a problem with our instance?

The March 2018 release was enhanced so the user's previous selections history now displays the list of previous selections only when you click the clock icon

This feature should be optional. We have already had a lot off reactions from our staff at the counter that they find it difficult to keep the privacy of the users when working at the counter and patrons are able to see the Alma screen with names of users recently viewed.

The December 2017 Release of Alma has been enhanced so that the patron ID field on the Patron Identification page now saves the list of patrons entered during the current session, so that you can select from recent patrons each time you access the page. Due to privacy concerns, this recent list is emptied each time you log out

I'd like it if it had a list of the last several -- we are used to this from Millennium.

This was so helpful in previous ILS and so desperately missed!
