[SWANcom] High Demand Holds report

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Attached is documentation for running the SirsiDynix report to generate "High Demand Holds" for your library. The SirsiDynix report is actually called "List Purchase Alert with Demand Management". I have created a template for any library that sent in a request to the ticket system. (help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>). If you haven't sent in a request yet, or do not find a template for your library, please submit a ticket. You will find the template in the reports module under the Template tab in alpha order by your three letter agency code (XXX High Demand Holds). I have configured the library default template to run the hold ratio of # of holds for pickup at your library to the # of your library copies. Libraries can modify this template to run the hold ratio of the # of holds for pickup at your library to the # of items owned system-wide. Your library may want to run both report numbers. You will find the documentation on the template attached. We have included information in the documentation on how to pull the text report into a spreadsheet. For each title, the report output includes the number of holds, number of copies, the holds to copies ratio, the title (up to 30 characters), author (up to 20 characters), and call number (up to 10 characters). For those of you who have asked, there is no more information that can be included in the report, sorry. You will find this report doesn't take long to run. And by creating a template for your library, you can run this report at your convenience anytime between 9 AM and 6 PM any day you want. Enjoy! Have a great weekend.
