Your patrons' circ activity report for January

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - In addition to the problem we are having with moving the statistical reports from the Production machine to the Report server, there is a problem with the custom built monthly report - "Your patrons' circ activity". Basically the report will not run. This is related to the recent upgrade. Innovative is working on this problem also. Again, hopefully, this problem will be fixed over the weekend. As soon as the report can be generated it will be uploaded to the SWAN website. I will be sending out a SWANcom announcing when it is uploaded and available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Web Management Statistics on Report server update

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - As of today, Innovative has not been able to move the monthly statistical reports from the Production server to the Report server. Knowing that this is a usually data included in your Board reports, we started last night emailing the reports to your generic library email. We are attempting to send these out to libraries based upon the scheduling of your Board meetings. A number of you should have received your reports last night. Hopefully, we will be able to get them all done by Monday evening, Tuesday at the latest. And there is always the possibility that Innovative will fix this problem over the weekend. As always, thank you for your patience and understanding. Have a great weekend.
