25.5 Release Notes
Highlights
Introducing Single Sign-on (SSO) with Clever! If you use the Clever integration to sync Alexandria with your SIS, you can now turn on SSO for your teachers and students. Students will also be able to log in to Alexandria directly from the Clever portal.
Explore Builder joins the Makeover family! And now you can export multiple Explore panes at once. Did you know we have a bunch of fun icon packs and explore panes you can download? Get them here!
New and Improved
Circulation
- Patron Lookup now returns up to 100 results, and prioritizes names smarter to get you more accurate results!
Admin
- Alexandria Controllers can now be hosted on modern Mac environments.
- If you have a situation with duplicate barcodes, Alexandria can now support interlibrary-loans and In-Transit features.
- We’ve made some accessibility improvements to Patron Status.
Services
- We’ve updated API connections for MackinVIA.
Fixed
We’ve addressed issues with our Windows installer for self-hosted customers.
Operations
- Notes for Saved Imports have been restored.
- Scheduled FTP imports better handle unmapped (skipped) fields.
- Item Exports were being finicky when selecting by call number; this has been fixed.
- Several notices were showing items with a heading of ‘overdue’ when it really meant ‘checked out’. These have been corrected!
- Patron Monthly Checkout Count has been updated so the Total Number of Patrons is unique patrons only.
- Saved Reports are doing a better job of keeping selections.
Builder
- When a Bulletin Board requires a password, you only have to enter the password once now!
Tools
- Duplicating a Calendar now correctly duplicates all the calendar data, and not just what you can see on the screen!
Search
- Medium aliases weren’t always showing up—so we’ve made sure the alias shows in Scout item details and Search tooltips.
