Support "Parent" fields in COUNTER R5.1 IR reports
COUNTER R5.1 reports can be harvested into Alma, and then users can review these reports in Analytics.
For ‘Item Reports’ (IR) not all “parent” fields are supported in Alma and in Analytics.
Mandatory parent fields for IRA1 in R5.1 are:
ParentTitle
ParentAuthors
ParentArticleVersion
ParentDOI
ParentProprietaryID
ParentPrintISSN
ParentOnlineISSN
Parent_URI
(See https://cop5.countermetrics.org/en/5.0.3/04-reports/04-item-reports.html)
NOTE: If any parent information is included in an Item Report, the ParentDataType MUST be specified (see https://cop5.projectcounter.org/en/5.1.0.1/03-specifications/02-formats-for-counter-reports.html#report-body)
These fields should be supported by Alma and Analytics.

Dear all,
I'd like to update you that we will add support for IR and IR_A1 parent fields in a future Alma release.
When sent in the report, we will map the parent fields into Alma DB, and show them in Analytics, under Usage Data Local (COUNTER) subject area.
In case the report does not include parent fields (for example in IR, which requires to add the parameter Include_Parent_Details=True), the parent fields can be loaded into Alma using the manual upload for COUNTER reports.
Adding the option to request for additional reports attributes when SUSHI harvesting will be done as part of a separate development. We encourage you to progress its priority via Idea Exchange. See for example the following idea: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308173/suggestions/49818182
As for the request to add MMSID to Usage Data Local (COUNTER) subject area; we will not be able to add the MMSID to this subject area as part of this development. Adding MMSID to this subject area will require to develop an adjusted algorithm which will determine which is the best MMSID to match the usage. Developing this algorithm is complex and require more resources. In this case also, we highly encourage you to add an idea exchange for this request.
Thank you,

We confirm that the parent elements in your attachement is OK. Is it possible to include MMS-id in the Subject area Usage (COUNTER) as well? This would be very useful, when we shall combine variables from the Usage area with another subject field
