Transaction Log

The transaction log contains a history of everything that has occurred on your machine and most of the changes that are made through management, utilities, and importing. It will also record who has logged in to your workstation and performed certain transactions and changes. 

If you're Self-Hosted, archived transaction logs are placed in the Log folder, located in Alexandria's shared application support folder.

Homeroom (HW)

The Homeroom subtab contains a list of all the patrons that belong to a particular homeroom. The Homeroom contains the Patron barcode, Name, Items Out (Total) and Today (Items checked out that day). You can also select the Pictures checkbox to include patron pictures.

• If you type HW followed by a patron barcode, then the homeroom that includes that patron will be displayed in the Homeroom subtab.
• If you type HW followed by a homeroom name, then the patrons in that homeroom will be displayed in the Homeroom subtab.
• If you type HW alone or with a partial name then a list will be displayed and you can select a homeroom from the list.
