Set preferred SMS default to "Yes"
When adding users manually in Alma the phone number has a parameter called "Preferred SMS" which is automatically set to "No". It controls whether Alma sends SMS' to the patron or not. It can only be changed after the profile is first saved. Hence it is ease to forget to toggle this setting.
We would like to have the option to choose the default setting for Preferred SMS, or the option to toggle this setting before saving on the "Quick User Management" registration form.

I believe most people set their cell phone numbers as their contact instead of landlines these days. It seems that there's no need to specifically differentiate between the number for receiving texts and the regular contact number.
