Reports

Managing a statistic report.

Statistic reports will show you counts and sums. These reports are all about numbers and statistics, for reports that return more detailed data, use the Guided Report Wizard. These reports are limited in what data they can look at, so it's often recommended to use custom reports for official end of the year statistics.

Note

To get a complete picture of your monthly or daily circulation, you can run the report twice, once for 'Type' of 'Checkout' and again for 'Renewal.'

This report uses 'Period,' or date, filtering that allows you to limit to a month by simply selecting the first day of the first month through the first day of the next month. For example, 10/1 to 11/1 to find statistics for the month of October.

  • To find daily statistics, set your date range.</br> Example: "I want circulation data starting with date XXX up to, but not including, date XXX."

  • For a whole month, an example range would be: 11/01/2009 to 12/01/2009

  • For a whole year, an example range would be: 01/01/2009 to 01/01/2010

  • For a single day, an example would be: 11/15/2009 to 11/16/2009 to find what circulated on the 15th

Using the Circulation statistics reporting wizard you can run reports on in house usage of items simply by choosing 'Local Use' from the 'Type' pull down:
