Monthly Discards Report (v.1) - select own dates Monthly Discards Report: gives a summary of the numbers of items 'discarded' in each collection and its total value, for each branch/library, for a particular period - to be entered when the refresh button is clicked (uses a parameter macro). The 2nd version uses the date range 'LASTMONTH' in case the date selection feature in the first version doesn't work.(Spydus 8.2) Madelon van Zijll de Jong - Hastings Central Library NZ

heavy_reserved_report - includes orders

This report lists heavily reserved biliographic records. It includes order information (if present) as well as a count of copies.

To get this report to work you need to create a new table in your SQL database by closely following the instructions in the attached zip file AT YOUR OWN RISK. I personally had no problems following these instructions but if you get stuck I'm afraid you're on your own. Likewise if you break your database in some bizarre way. I think that's very unlikely but I have to limit my liability here...

We commissioned Civica (in the form of Trevor) to write this report for us. They are happy for me to share the report we paid for but if you can't get it to work and want some help with it I'm sure your account manager can work something out.

The first column is a basic calculation of reservations per item and order.
2nd column is the title and collection.
Then it's total copies, total resies, total on order copies and order date.

I hope it's useful.
