Add permanent location code or name to fulfillment analytics
Under Alma Analytics we want to request that Ex Libris add the field of permanent location code or name to the fulfillment area of analytics. We need to be able to grab the count of items in a library and how many of those items (held) in that library have circulated by any mean (resource sharing, digitization, loan, etc.). The current table allows us to pull what circulation desk they circulated from. That is not entirely accurate as we allow items to be delivered and circulated from any circulation desk on campus. This type of data is needed to assess…

serial type
Be able to lookup bibliographic titles by serial type (Fixed field 21 SrTp: Type of continuing resource), especially for monographic series type m. Our serials desk wants a way to easily find these so when they receive materials they can separate the standing orders from the subscriptions. They could also generate reports from the data parsed in Analytics to assist their students during the receiving process.

Include "On Hold Expiration Date" to "Physical Items"
Please include the "On Hold Expiration Date" from the Alma Physical Items Search to the Analytics field "Physical Items"
To elaborate upon why this is needed:
A title was ordered on February 8th. The "Hold Shelf expiration date" is set for February 23rd. According to the terms of use, 10 working days are correctly taken into account. However, the "Days on Hold Shelf" value displays 14 days, as weekends and holidays are included in this calculation. This discrepancy naturally makes it difficult to rely on, as the number of weekends and holidays within the pickup period may vary. We need…

Analytics
Buenos días, queremos solicitar la siguiente mejora:
Que el área temática de Analytics: Fund Transactions --Transaction Expenditure Amount recoja la suma de todas las líneas de factura, tanto las Regular como las de Additional changes, Shipment, Insurance, Discount, Overhead y Adjustment.
Esto es extremadamente importante para poder extraer las estadísticas de gasto.

Analytics shared dimension
Hi,
We would like to be able to create a report showing remaining charges listed by user and include the block reason.The charge data is in subject area "Fines and Fees" and the block reason is in subject area "Users".
We raised this as a case (06837145) but were told it's not possible without a shared dimension, this is the request to create that shared dimension.
Thanks

Data visualization to include export to Excel/CSV function
Currently users without Design analytic role can use Data visualization(DV) reports but they can only export report in PDF, powerpoint. It would be very useful to have an export of data in Excel or CSV.

Add Activation Status to the Funds Expenditure Area in Analytics
We want to be able to create more complex data retrievals of our eresources based on activation status and filter these by various facets such as fund code. We have thousands of portfolios and it's not feasible to search for these on Alma when an analytics report would take seconds to create. For example, I was asked to provide a quick report listing every Journal we have on our largest budget code with an activation status of "Not activated E-Resource" by fiscal year.

Add Campus Name as a Field in the Course Reserves Subject Area
Currently, the only location option in the Course Reserves subject area is "Campuses Name and Participants." This field is made up of "The campus description and the number participants per campus." "Campuses Name and Participants" is misleading in that it pulls the campus description field, rather than the campus name field.
We would prefer a field that contains only the campus name, without using the description or the number of participants.

Remove library and locations from Analytics created in test period
During migration to Alma we found that there were some incorrect data in holdings records for libraries and locations. This was useful because those data were not exposed to metadata managers in our previous system. Prior to migration, these incorrect libraries and locations were removed from our data in the previous system.
Now I find that those incorrect libraries and locations remain in Analytics. In order to filter these incorrect data out, one needs to remember to filter them out. This is not a long-term tenable solution as fewer and fewer staff members recall the specifics of the data cleanup…

Ability to report on the source of a MARC record
It would be useful to be able to report on the source of a MARC record in Alma Analytics. This should be part of the 'Titles' Subject Area, providing information on whether the record was created using a record from a Z39.50 query or via a scheduled or manual import job.
If the record is imported via a Z39.50 query, the source bibliographic knowledgebase should be reportable (e.g. OCLC WorldCat, Jisc Library Hub etc.).
If the record was created via an import job, the name of the import profile should be reportable.
This would help libraries to better maintain statistics…

Analytics recover the fields in the original configuration language in ALMA
ALMA is configured for Spanish-speaking countries in Spanish, so Analytics reports are required to generate data in the same language in which the original fields are configured.

Ability to create Alma Analytics Objects from Primo VE Network Reports Folder
The institutions of the consortia working in the Network use the same analytics reports. In the case of Alma Analytics, it is possible to add new Alma Analytics objects from the Alma Analytics Network Folder. However, there is no possibility to add new Primo Analytics objects from the Primo Analytics Network Folder. Please implement such a possibility, as it is very important for consortia, especially those with consortium IT support centers.

Distinguish blank cells in Usage Reports
Hello, currently when creating an analytics report in alma for usage date harvested from SUSHI some months in their cell appear as blank. Can it be possible for these blank cells if they have 0 usages to be reported as the number 0? That way we can distinguish between what had 0 usages vs what was an error in gathering the data.

Filtering a report based on a user set
Right now if you want to filter a report on a user set...
- Run a search in Alma and save to a set
- Export the list, using Excel.
- Manipulate the needed field (e.g. of barcodes), to be stored in one row, with semicolon separating them (e.g. 365704-340;365704-350).
- Copy this list as a row to be used as a filter in Analytics
I would like Alma smart enough, when I click on filter to simply supply the user set I created.

Analytics for count of resource sharing requests made via Course Reserves citations
We'd like to be able to see analytics data for resource sharing requests placed via Course Reserves citations. We are told by Support that this is not currently supported, and it was suggested that we create an idea here.
