Hi Sarah There are a some features within HBSMR that may help here: 1. the HER Benchmark reports for Mon/Event/Source. These list what percentage of your records meet the various criteria laid down in the HER Benchmarks document, so giving you some statistics to measure the state of your records. These are available from the "Reports" button on the main menu. The underlying queries can be used to work through the "failing" records - we can help with this if you want. 2. the audit trail can be used to report how many records have been created or modified over given periods (though of course it doesn't mean the records have been "enhanced" !). 3. The validation flags on mons/events can be used to record the status of each record, and you could change that status as records are validated/enhanced etc. This gives you another measurable. cheers Crispin ________________________________ From: Issues related to Historic Environment Records [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sarah MacLean Sent: 25 September 2007 10:31 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: SMR enhancement figures Dear all, Hope all is well around the various parts of the country and you haven't been too badly affected by recent poor weather. The sun is finally out here :) I'm currently working on a report and am on the section about data enhancement. Up in Northumberland we had it written into our service plan that we were aiming at approximately 5% enhancement over the year. Do any other HERs/SMRs have enhancement targets, service plan or otherwise? I'm trying to move away from suggesting how many days such a task would take to complete as I firmly believe that enhancement is an ongoing and never ending part of an SMR/HER. Instead I'd prefer to have a percentage target for the year. It would be interesting to see how others tackle this issue of quantifying enhancement. Any help will be gratefully received. best wishes Sarah Sarah MacLean Sites and Monuments Record Officer Bath and North East Somerset Council Trimbridge House Trim Street Bath BA1 2DP Tel: 01225 396126 E-mail: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/BathNES/environmentandplanning/Archaeology/ <http://www.bathnes.gov.uk/BathNES/environmentandplanning/Archaeology/> Making Bath & North East Somerset a better place to live, work and visit.
