Patron Records

Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())

Current Record Pane


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.


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.

Patron Lexile subtab


Some features on this subtab are only available if you have the Expanded Lexile Services integration. Once this feature has been activated, Lexile Measures will be available from within Alexandria. If you do not have this integration, you will only be able to see a patron's current Lexile on this subtab. Contact our Sales Team if you're interested in adding it to your library!

This tab is made up of the patron's current Lexile level and tables that contain the following Lexile score data: grade (K-13), Lexile value, testing source for the Lexile value, and last recorded Lexile date. The information contained in these tables are used to track your student's reading progress as they move from kindergarten through high school.

Clicking Show Graph will generate an electronic Patron Lexile Graph report showing the patron's Lexile level compared to the default Lexile level. This report can be used for emailing or printing purposes.

Reading is essential to your patron's success. We strongly encourage your patrons to read at least five books in their targeted range in order to grow as a reader. Your patron's targeted range is 50 points above or 150 points below his or her current reading level.

If you know your Current Patron’s Lexile scores (per grade), you can provide them here by clicking on the corresponding Grade table. Once you do so, the Lexile window will appear, allowing you to provide the Lexile score (0 – 2000), the testing Source (e.g. PSAT, TAKS, Aprenda), and the Date that their last Lexile test was performed.

Lexile Field Numbers for Import/Export

The Lexile Student field number 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 subtab in your Patrons Management > Programs window might look like this:


GradeLexileTesting SourceDate
K0000N/A9/5/10
1200Classroom Reading9/6/11
2400SAT9/4/12

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
