Limiting by Union Catalog Plus member
In Union Catalog Plus, most of the reports can be limited by member. You can
create a report on the entire union catalog database (the default), or limit it to
information on one member. On the lower left side of the dialog, click on the
Member button. The Select Member dialog appears. Highlight the desired
member and click Select. All limiters, including the selected member, are cleared
when you choose a new report. The printout will include the union catalog name
and, if selected, the member name at the top of the report. The header page, also,
will display the selected member.
Changing the date used to run reports
The Set Report Date option lets you calculate circulation statistics as of a past
date by overriding the current system date. You can also use this feature to set a
future date to project which items will soon be due or to print overdue/bill
notices.
From the Reports menu bar, select Options | Set Report Date. The Set Report
Date dialog appears. To use a different date than the current date, select Use
Special Date, type the new date, and select Save.
Note:
If you set a date other than the current date, the following report areas will
not be impacted: System Information Report, Patron Statistics (Total
Patrons), Hold Statistics (Copies columns), Collection Value Report
(Collection column), Collection Statistics (Collection column), Collection
Age by Subject (Collection column), Collection Age by Call Number
(Collection column), and Circulation Statistics (Total column).
Regardless of the date specified
here, all reports will continue to reĆ
flect the current number of patrons,
titles, and copies in your database.
Important:
Reports will continue using the special date for all reports until you
return to the Set Report Date dialog and choose the Use Current Date
option or exit Reports.
