Patron Details Summary

  Textbook Tracker

Generates Patron Details for each selected patron (a full breakdown of accounts)

Before 20.12, this report was Account Status Summary.

Patron Details includes an account balance, payments, charges, credits, loaned items, lost items, overdues, holds, reservations, and reserved items.

Use(s)

Print this report for patrons and/or their parents regularly so they can remember which items they have, what's overdue and needs to be returned, which items are lost, how much they owe the library, etc. Use the Send Patron Details Email report if you want to email the report to patrons instead.

Limit to patrons that have transactions: When checked, this limits the listed patrons to those whom have items checked out, on hold, reserved, or owe fines. If you wish to print all patrons, whether they have transactions or not, remove the check.

Example Report

Account Expiring Notice

  Textbook Tracker

Emails patrons whose accounts are expiring in the next 30 days

This report will only work if you have enabled account expiration dates (Preferences > Patrons > Patron Rules > uncheck Disable account expiration dates) and configured your Email Preferences.

Patrons need a valid email address on their record to receive email notifications. Not sure who's missing an email? Run the Patrons with No Email report to get a list.

Learn more about setting up email notices for patrons and librarians.

Use(s)

Create a saved report that's scheduled to automatically run once a month so that patrons are always notified of their cards expiring.

Patrons Missing Information

Generates a list of patrons without an email or picture on their record

Use(s)
  • Run this report after importing patron records to see which patrons need to have a primary email address manually added.
  • If you use any email notice reports, run this report to get a list of who's missing a primary email address. Then you can contact those patrons and add an email. Otherwise, they won't receive notices.

Suspended Patrons

  Textbook Tracker
