[Wactclc-alma] [External] RE: circ stats in Analytics

[Guidry, Wade]

?One other consideration that may or may not apply... if fulfillment policies changed during migration (for example, longer loan periods put into effect), that could impact overall circ numbers.

Loan counts will only be available for loans since going live, or done during implementation. That's why your 2016/17 numbers are so low.

Also, note that loans and renewals are counted separately in analytics. If you add renewals to your analysis, that adds about 1,000 additional circulations.

Which maybe is closer to your Voyager number, if the Voyager number counts renewals.

Otherwise, maybe Voyager numbers include some additional stuff (media desk? Equipment? ILL? In-house?)

Those of you with Voyager experience may be able to comment further on what you've seen.

ATTENTION: This email contains links. Please follow best practices before clicking on links.
Does Analytics only count 'not in house loans' since we went live on Alma, not including anything carried over from Voyager?  We went live July 12, 2017.

For 2016/17 I get only 129 loans which is not accurate obviously.  It must be from testing prior to going live?

For 2017/18 I get 4638 loans which is about half of what I'd expect to see based on prior years when we pulled stats from Voyager.

Hi Amy,

Add the filter for "In House Use Indicator" = No from Loan Details.  Here's what ours looks like...

This seems like it should be such an easy thing but I'm having issues.  I just want to know how many loans we do, by patron type, filtered by fiscal year.  My problem comes with the loans.  I do not want browses included so I'm not using "Loans" in the fulfillment subject area, because I can't tell if those are both in house and not in house loans. So I used "Num of Loans (Not In House)" in the physical items subject area, but then I get 0 results.   How do I see just actual loans, not including browses, for each fiscal year?
