Chapter 39 System reports

This chapter contains information about two reports that contain information

about your system: System Circulation Statistics and System Information.

Unlike all other reports which are available only in the Reports module, these

system reports are accessible from five other modules as well: Cataloging;

Circulation Desk; Inventory; Patron Maintenance; and System Setup.

How many overdue books are there today? How many checkouts have we had

this year? How many total copies do we have? Access your summary statistics

without running a report.

Ordering books? Find out your highest barcode used and your barcode

symbology here. Network problems? You can find the IP address of your server

and your workstation here. When do holds expire? Do we charge fines on grace

days? Access your setup information quickly, without opening System Setup.

Is an inventory in progress? What comport do I connect my PHD to? All these

questions, and more, can be answered by viewing one of the system reports.

To access the reports, select Help from the menu (not the Help button) in one of

these modules. Click on About <module name>. The About window displays the

total number of patrons, titles, and copies in your database. Then choose either

the Statistics (if you have Circulation Plus) or the Information button.
