Directors Station Work-around

Still waiting to hear back about the holds data for April in Director's Station, which appears markedly incomplete in its current form. It may be that the parameters of the measures have changed and Sirsi didn't announce it sufficiently clearly. But here is how to do the same thing in WorkFlows reports:

Choose the Circulation tab: Current holds statistics report

In the Holds selection tab, set these options:
  • Item library- set to your own library
  • Holds Status- Inactive
  • Date inactive- range between first and last of preceding month
  • Reason Inactive- Filled

In the Transaction Stats tab:
  • Column- user library
  • Row- Total

This will give you the number of your items that filled holds at other user libraries, as well as the number of your items filled holds for your users, in the preceding month.

I'll update about the Directors Station issues when I hear something.
