  3. Alma Digital Patron Deposit Status Report from Analytics

    The Digital Inventory Subject Area includes fields for the Deposit ID and an "Is Deposit" flag, but not the status of the deposit. Being able to generate reports of the actual deposit status would assist in refining workflows and addressing unresolved deposits.

  4. Add "num of physical items (active)" column from titles to the fulfilment, physical items and course reserves analytics subject areas

    Currently there are times where our staff need to know how many physical items we have available. They have created reports in either the Physical items, Fulfilment or the course reserve analytics subject areas. And they want an accurate column showing how many items are active. So that they can make a decision on whether we need to be purchase more items due to loans or courses on a specific MMS_ID.

  5. Add the translations of library name, location name and so on into Analytics

    For facilitating the Analytics Report with local language, request adding the translation of library name, location name and so on into Analytics. Current workaround, which is uploading external data into Data Visualization, cannot fit the situation which has the name changes quite often. According to the customer, 86THU changes these names very often.

  6. Converted from hold request needs adding to Resource Sharing Borrowing Request Subject Area

    We are currently trying to get statistics of Scan and Send requests that we have completed. Over 121 of these requests where converted into Resource Sharing Borrowing Request. However, it is difficult to find out how many of the 121 request that were converted have then been completed by RS. It would be good if a column was created for the Resource Sharing Borrowing Request subject area to show whether a request was converted from a Digitization or a hold request. So we can create a report that shows the lifecycle of these types of requests.

  7. bibliographic MARC analytics

    I've seen this suggested before, but I would like to suggest it again because the idea appears to be closed every time but it is still not available in analytics. I've seen it mentioned by other people every time I attend an analytics webinar, so I know I'm no the only person who would like to see this feature.

    It would be incredible to have the ability to query by MARC tags, subfields, and indicators. Setting up local params is not enough because it is limited to only 10 fields. There are 10+ MARC fields alone that cover authority data,…

  8. Analytics - 028 Publisher's number

    Currently, the 028 field (Publisher or Distributor Number) is not a reporting option in Analytics. It would be extremely beneficial to the music and video community to have this field provided as an option in reports, both in the physical items and e-inventory subject areas. For music and videos, this field can be as important as the ISBN is to books. Yes, libraries can add this field as a local Param option, but many libraries have already maxed out the bibliographic 10 local param options.

  9. Analytics - extract only the 13-digit ISBNs from the ISBN Valid field

    Can you make it possible to only have the 13-digit ISBNs show up in 1 column from the ISBN Valid field?
    There's probably a regex somewhere to do that?

  10. Analytics - make History tab in User Records indexed & searchable

    We have been informed by Ex Libris that when a User Record is updated, either with an API or via the Alma interface, then those fields updated will not be updated with the daily SIS feed. They are considered "manual" changes and are therefore, locked. Now, in the history tab of User Records, you can see the changes made and by whom, but we have been told this information is not available in Analytics and the only way to know who has these locked fields is as we come across them. There is no way currently to systematically pull these…

  12. Please add Analytics to the Ex Libris System Status page

    We appreciate the emails about service interruptions with Analytics however these notices can get lost in deluge of email. It would be optimal to have quick visual besides the little green informational "i" on whether Alma and Primo Analytics are nominal on https://status.exlibrisgroup.com/

  14. Retain Course Reserves info in Alma Analytics

    It would be helpful if the system would retain information about course reserves in Analytics, even after things are deleted in Alma. It would be useful to be able to look back over various terms and see what courses were run and when.

  15. Analytics' job history activation

    On Analytics, the job history is not accessible. It would be interesting to give access to this feature, for instance when developing a new report, it is sometimes good to have the history of what has been done. Thanks.

  17. Add Collection related subject area/dimensions/parameters in Analytics

    Please elaborate Collection in Analytics. We suggest three ideas for that;

    Idea 1)
    Collection can be a separate dimension, with the existing/new parameters below;
    - Collection ID (existing)
    - Collection Name (existing)
    - Collection External System
    - Collection External ID
    - Collection MMS ID (of the collection's BIB itself)
    - ★★★ The PIDs of the collection's direct sub-collections (in different rows, not combined with semicolons; should be repeatable so that the created report can show the hierarchical structure of whole collections)
    - Collection level (the depth)
    - Collection Path (from the collection's top level collection to itself)
    - Collection Description…

  19. Analytics - Sub-collections parameter (Digital)

    Please add some Sub-collection related parameters. In present analytics does not reflect the hierarchical structure at all so users should know the PIDs of end-collections. Maybe the path of the collection (from the top collection to itself) would be helpful too.

  20. Cost Per Use *by fund* Report for Electronic Collections (Databases)

    Problem: We are looking for a way to run a cost usage report by fund that includes titles with the PO Line Type ‘Name of Electronic Collection - Subscription.’

    The E-Inventory Cost Usage report includes all titles with the PO Line Type Name of ‘Electronic Journal -…
