Make 245 $p, $n, $s, $k, $f, $g part of "Title" criteria in Analytics &/or make them available as separate criteria
Currently, the Analytics criteria “Bibliographic Details – Title” returns the 245 $a and $b in combination. This leaves out a good portion of the information needed to distinguish titles in series or parts from one another. Works of classical music are another area which require information from the other subfields for clarity. In the case of many archival materials, the current results leave the title field completely blank or skip many records, as there is no data recorded in either 245 $a or 245 $b. (Please see the attached file for examples.)
In order to use these reports in any meaningful way, we need the complete title information available. Ideally, we would have the option to report each subfield independently as well as the option to report one complete and concatenated title field.
It should be noted as well, that the concatenation should happen in the order AS ENTERED IN THE RECORD, not in alphabetical order by subfield or in a pre-determined “most common” order, as the subfields may appear in various orders. (Note the yellow-highlighted records in the attached file.)
Thank you for your consideration.
The Title (Complete) field was added to the shared Bibliographic Details dimension in every subject area in which it appears. It includes the information from MARC field 245, subfields $p, $n, $s, $k, $f, $g.

Yes, please! Would be great to have each subfield indexed/reported as a separate Analytics criteria, rather than one big concatenated field. But adding them to the concatenation would be better than nothing.

Clearly, improved use of the information in ALL the 245 subfields is important to many of us. This is one of FOUR similar/related requests, with a total of 50 votes as of 8/16/2016:
• "The 245 field should display in repository search results, even if there is no 245$a" (10 votes)
• "Please make the MARC bib. 245 subfield p from the bibliographic record available" (2 votes)
• "Make 245 $p, $n, $s, $k, $f, $g part of "Title" resource description when viewing/editing holdings and item record details" (13 votes)
• "Make 245 $p, $n, $s, $k, $f, $g part of "Title" criteria in Analytics &/or make them available as separate criteria" (25 votes) -

Is it possible to add the 245c field to this request? See Salesforce case number 00206260: I'm trying to create a Alma Analytic report that captures the 700 field. I've been looking for this option in Analytics but cannot find it. We are working on a browsable list for our ESL collection, and would like to list (and be able to search the xml) by the original author name (if applicable). Here's a couple examples:
1. A Time to Kill - 700: John Grisham 100: Christopher Tribble
http://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/LANECC:lanecc_alma:CP711265472000014512. Cold Mountain - 700: Charles Frazier 100: Mary Tomalin
http://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/LANECC:lanecc_alma:CP71118990580001451If the 700 field is not available, I would love to use the 245c field, but I can't figure out how to capture that in the report either.
