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 on how many MARC records are being imported from different metadata sources and ensure they are receiving value-for-money from their metadata subscriptions.

I wonder if the existing Originating System field will meet this need? OTB this will display as Unknown but can be configured to display meaningful information, including by Import Profile. https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/080Analytics/Alma_Analytics_Subject_Areas/Titles
