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.
