Improve Alma Analytics to allow for more straightforward and accurate COUNTER usage data and Cost Per Use reporting.
Improve Alma Analytics to allow for more straightforward and accurate COUNTER usage data and Cost Per Use reporting. To address the following:
Simplify CPU Calculation: Improve the system to allow straightforward calculation of Cost Per Use (CPU) by including financial data in the usage subject area, eliminating the need for SQL joins.
Increase Data Update Frequency: Increase the frequency of usage data updates in the e-inventory subject area and fix the date of the job, as the current monthly updates, which have variable dates, cause scheduling issues.
Enhance Data Accuracy: Address inaccuracies and missing data due to limited match points (title and ISSN). Examples include:
a/. Titles with only print ISSN in the Counter file.
b/. Title changes by users, leading to mismatches.
c/. Inability to link usage to CPU due to mismatched ISSN or titles, resulting in incorrect CPU calculations.

Hello,
We would like to clarify some of the point -
1. There is a mention of "financial data" - what type of data would you want? Can you give an example of a report you are creating today with SQL joins and explain the purpose and usage of such a report?
2. Can you tell us more about the scheduling issues?
3. a. Can you give an example of such a title?
b. Can you give more information about this use case? What kind of title changes?
c. Can you give an example of such a case? What type of enhancement is requested here?Thanks,
Hadas

Would it be possible to enable time based portfolio counts within the system please. It may be me not knowing how to do this - I can see when portfolio were created and modified but do not appear to see a measure to enable specific portfolio availability at a specified time duration. Thank you.
