Add ability to clear/delete Birth Date data via the Update/Notify Users job.
A library may choose to store a user’s birth date data in their user records, but may decide later to stop storing it. In addition, in an AFN environment, one member library may choose to store this data locally and then share it with AFN partners through their Linked Account Shared Fields settings. If this setting is later changed to exclude this data from future Network user records, it has no impact on pre-existing Network user records in an AFN partner’s IZ, who continue to retain the date until said Network user records are refreshed.
Impact of Problem – Currently, there is no mechanism in Alma to run a batch job for clearing/deleting the birth date field data from user records, requiring instead a manual, one by one update process. Being able to use the Update/Notify job to complete this task is simply much more efficient.
