All –
Ok. So what is the difference between Aged and Active? And why are not all
circs just circs? If the item ever went out, isn’t it counted as having
circulated?
Any further advice on this report is welcome. I have not really started
working with it yet except to look at what Rogan suggested.
My source was “Circulation” from the drop down list of Sources.
My base filters were: Check out Date / Time (selecting between
year+month) and Org ID
Still not sure how to select call number range, but was going with
Item – Call # / Vol – Call# label and choosing “between”
My displayed fields so far are: Circ Library, Circ count, and Call number
Label.
I would really like to get the call number “group” rather than exact call
numbers. Anyone have any ideas about that? In other words, if an item has a
call number of 365.4988 F45c it would fall in the 300’s group. My idea
is to use the “between” transform and run a report for each call number 100’s
range. If there are other options, I’d like to know. It would be great to
get an aggregate TOTAL of all items that circulated within the 300’s for the
current date range (i.e. year).
Thanks!

report
I haven't created this report template, but I think that Rogan's suggestion is
correct. One thing to keep in mind is that there are a few different
circulations sources. If you would like to include aged circulations, you
should choose the "Combined Aged and Active Circulations" source.

Renewals are circs so that shouldn't be an issue.
If I'm understanding what you're looking for correctly you're going to want to
connect from the circulation data source to the copy and from there to the call
number and the call number label will have your dewey call numbers.
I don't think you'll need to pull from the MARC for this.

All –
I need help from the Evergreen Wisdom.
My boss wants “count circs by subject -- in our case, Dewey class.” I am
pretty good so far at working with the templates and even creating a completely
new report. Problem is, I am not sure what data source to pull from. And
will I have to be selecting something from the marc fields? I am pretty dumb
on that part. Anyone already done something like this that could give me a
few pointers in the right direction?
(I figure other parameters are going to be by date and by library. Are
renewals counted as circs?)
Thanks!
