Searching for what a patron has previously borrowed

We have a patron who has borrowed over 200 books. Is there an easy way of searching her previous transactions to see if she has read what she is picking up to read now?

>1 ToongabbieBaptistLib: I just looked up my borrowings. I've got 218 transactions. That's 9 pages! A lot to look through, and I don't know if there's an export function for that. It would be good if there were...

To see someone's transactions (which lists all books in order of borrowing) go to TC Admin -> Patrons -> (The person in question) ->All Transactions.

Hope that helps in some way.

Yes, I have gone to the individual's transactions in the way mentioned above. I'm not able to sort those in any other way (e.g. alphabetically) than by order of borrowing.

Probably the best way to go about checking if the patron has borrowed a particular title will be to go to the title concerned and look at its circulation history to see if that patron's name is there.

I did go to a circulation history of a book that I knew had been borrowed by a number of people. I had the issue that the history opened in its own window and the list of borrowings and returns went below the bottom border of the window and I wasn't able to scroll the contents to see the first borrower (who is at the bottom of the list).

>3 ToongabbieBaptistLib: Sorry for your trouble with the "Item Circulation" pop-up! The issue you saw is a known one that needs fixing, and our developers will fix this as soon as they have the time. I know they're still tied up catching up from our down time a few weekends ago, but I'll send them a gentle reminder about this, too. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
