Item Statistics Report
The Item Statistics (Itemstat) report selects and counts item records that meet certain selection criteria, or were used in certain selected transactions. Statistical information about the items is presented in a tabular format.
This report contains the following tabs.
| • | Basic Tab: Reports |
| • | Call Number Selection Tab |
| • | Item Selection Tab |
| • | Title Selection Tab |
| • | Transaction Statistics Tab |
| • | Print Separate Reports for Each Library Tab |
| • | Output Format Tab |
By default, only call numbers with copies are selected, and each Item Type is totaled for the selected records. On the Transaction Statistics tab, if an output option other than Total is selected for the Column or Row field, the totals will still be included for each.
Results are sorted by library, with a page break between the list of item statistics for each library. If you select the Print Separate Reports for Each Library check box, an individual report for each library that lists only item statistics in that library is produced. If the check box is selected, the Item Statistics report title displays in the finished reports list, and contains just the report log. Then, individual reports titled "Clean Holds Shelf(Report Title):LIBRARY" display in the finished reports list. Each of these individual reports contains a portion of the report log, and a list of item statistics for the specified library.
If the Send Notices Automatically check box is selected in the report wizard properties, each library’s list will be sent electronically to the email address listed in the EMAIL entry of the library’s user record.
If Generate Pipe Delimited Output is selected, the report creates a pipe-delimited file and places it in the /Rptprint directory with the naming convention of yyyymmdd_internalrptname.pipe. The report log lists the pipe-delimited report file name. This pipe-delimited file can be opened using a third-party application, such as a spreadsheet application.
If Print Separate Reports for Each Library and Generate Pipe Delimited Output are both selected, the report creates a separate pipe-delimited file per library and places it in the /Rptprint directory with the naming convention of yyyymmdd_library_rptid.pipe. Since users may run this report many times in a day, these file names are noted in the report log to make it easier for users to locate them.
