Note Type
Have the options to create different Note Types under the patrons note tab.

This would be so helpful that we can delete and/or re-order the drop down list. I wonder why the Note Types were not editable in the first place. Thanks.

This would be so helpful for us at College of DuPage. We have specific situations that would work best under set note types. The option to also remove unused note types would help as well so unhelpful note types aren't selected because none of the existing ones fit.

The Library of Copenhagen Business School would be pleased to have this option as well

Royal Melbourne Hospital would also love to see the option of customisable not e categories

Please make user note types configurable so that customized note types can be added, and so that un-used default note types can be disabled or deleted.

The University of Wisconsin system agrees with this idea. We use APIs to load and sometimes alter patron data. One example is replacing legal names with preferred names (Alma does not yet have fields dedicated to preferred names).
When we replace a legal name with a preferred name, we'd like to add a note specific to this scenario that indicates a name has been changed and includes the legal name. The legal name will then still be in the Alma patron record and can be used for verification, the collection of fines and fees, etc.
We'd like to have a note type that is reserved for this purpose, and that means we want to create our own note types to avoid collisions with other library staff use. We have asked for different barcode types in the past, and had them added, and this seems like it could be solved in a similar manner.
