Enhance the comprehensiveness of Analytics of usage analysis
For some vendors, it may have sub-databases in the subscriptions and collect usage for a particular database and the titles within seems not possible currently by Analytics. Though there’s a “Platform” field in Analytics, it did not separate the figures between different databases for a single vendor. It's strongly recommended to enhance the comprehensiveness of Analytics and enhance the functionality of usage analysis.

Yes, adding "Database" and "Proprietary ID" to the fields in the Usage Data (COUNTER) subject area would make Analytics much more useful for usage reporting.

I couldn't agree more with this suggestions and indeed frustrating. It is strongly believe that incorporating this feature, Alma Analysis can provide a more comprehensive and insightful usage analysis for users. I hope to see these enhancements implemented soon.

Alma analytics can fulfill basic needs of usage figure. However, it is hard to analytic specific target group or particular collection in deeply. It is strongly suggested to improve the analytic functions. It is believed that it will become more complete and user friendly for the users.

The Alma Analytics is so far not enough to fufill detailed and daily needs of usage collection for libraries. Agree that it should be considered to provide usage figures between different databases to achieve more comprehensive service.
