[aisle] Alexandria 7 Cloud Hosted

Wed Feb 24 06:50:37 CST 2021

This change to version 7 was perfect timing. Very easy to access everything
from home. I also loaded username and password for student access. My tech
guy was able to give me a data file so the student login is part of there
email and current password. I matched up password fields—FYI: it looks like
nothing is there but it actually loaded correctly. I had a non-encrypted
password and loaded it into the non-encrypted field.

I connected to 3-4-5 grades remotely and taught everyone how to put books
on hold.  Not everyone has been requesting books but the library lovers are
very into it.  I run the on-shelf holds report each morning and deliver to
each classroom.  The changes to this version take some adjusting. But
everything appears to be there. One biggie is your saved reports are not
there, they all have to be recreated. Good Luck!!
