Tools > Activity

This is currently a beta module, meaning it is being tested for customer interest. It may become a paid add-on at a later time. 

Activity is an unattended kiosk interface that allows you to keep count of patron visits, volunteers, and event attendees. Information gathered from this module can be presented to administrators or funding sources for planning and funding purposes.

Access and Set Up

Activity can be accessed by going to Tools > Activities or by adding /activitybeta to the end of your Alexandria URL.  

How Patrons Use the Activity Module

1. Type or scan a patron barcode and click Enter.

2. In the top left corner, the patron's picture, name, and number of holds will pop up. Patrons can then select their reason (Visit, Event, Classroom Project, or PTA) and click Confirm in the top right corner. They can also click Cancel to enter a different patron barcode.

3. A notice will flash at the bottom of the screen showing the patron's name and date.


Then they're good to go! Alexandria will keep track of recorded names, reasons, dates, and times. 

Record Activity in Circulation

Librarians can also record activity for patrons in Circulation by using the YA command.
