John, It's true that the auditor table tracks the user and workstation when patron records are edited, but no entry is added to auditor.actor_usr_history when the record is first created. So creator info is not tracked, only edit info (which is sometimes, but not always, helpful). -Michele --

We created a local solution to this circa 2012. We store a creator and create_date in actor.card, so we can see who issued each library card. It doesn't capture every edit, but does show who created the account initially and who issued any replacement library card(s). I've added details to

I find it perplexing that Evergreen does not indicate which staff member input a new patron record. I can see which staff member checked an item in or out, so why can I not see who set the account up? It is incredibly useful data because it can help me spot if a staff member is struggling and
