The greater half of the Patrons Management module is dedicated to the Current Patron Record pane, which provides access to the information stored in the title or copy record selected from the patrons Records List on the left. The tabs that are available in the Current Record pane contain the settings, options, editable fields, drop-down menus, and checkboxes that are used to manage the patrons or operators who use your library.

Patrons Management tabs 

The Patrons Management tabs contain pertinent information for each patron.

• Personal Info tab
• Contact Info tab
• Notes tab
• Statistics tab
• Lexile tab

You may notice a peculiar number to the right of the Lexile tab. This is the patron Sequence Number, a unique number that Alexandria assigns to new patrons or operators. This number is useful when browsing patrons by order of entry.

Lexile Field Numbers for Import/Export

The field number for a Lexile Student is 1060. All of a patron's lexile information (per grade) is contained in a single string; cells are separated by || and rows are separated by //.

For instance, the Lexile tab in your Patrons Management window might look like this:

Or, for simplification purposes, the information contained in the Lexile tab can also be represented by the following table:

<center>

</center>

The information exemplified above is stored as a single string in the Alexandria database as such:

K||200||Testing Source One||1/20/15//1//2||400||Test Two||2/21/17

Keep in mind that a Lexile Student import is on a per-row basis, so rows missing from the import will not be affected. Therefore, to properly clear an entire table, you would need to import an entry as follows:

K//1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//10//11//12//13
