Hi,
I’ve just posted my comment on the release notice but am repeating it here. When checking the Books report I’ve found links to lists which are archived. I’m only interested in live lists so would appreciate a filter option to select only those please.
Thanks
Julie

Hi Keji,
Huge cheer for CKEY support! :-D
I’m also very grateful for the addition of filters to reports, this is a positive step forward…
Re the All User Profiles report, though, the drop-down for “Job role” doesn’t allow you to filter to users who haven’t entered a job role, i.e. an empty field. Can that be corrected?
It also doesn’t allow multiple selections, can that be enabled too?
In the csv output, there are columns called “First Name_link”, “Surname_link” and “Email_link”, which are all simply a link to that user profile. Can you clarify why this is – are they going to be different at some point? (I wondered if the first name link was going to do a search on all user profiles with that first name!?) If they’re not, it would be ideal not to clutter the output with three identical columns.
Also, can I check this isn’t the final iteration of the report? We really need extra filters and outputs on this one, e.g. we need last login date (this is key for us) and school/department (although as per previous discussions, the department really needs to be connected to the hierarchy… so that’s probably not a report enhancement before the underlying issue is addressed and that’s a whole other matter).
Re the Books… report, the importance levels are listed in a different order from in Aspire when you’re editing lists; can we get consistency there, or does it have to be alphabetical in the report?
Another aspect on that report concerns how we deal with the output and the linking. The report only has links back within Aspire, but it would be fantastic if there was also a link to the catalogue. I know, the report is “Books *not* linked to the catalogue”, but they may well have been bought since they were added to Aspire, and that’s what we can use this report to check. E.g. ISBN 9781849460279 appears on our report but that exists on the catalogue, there’s just no link yet; you can tell this quickly with an opac search (http://library.brunel.ac.uk/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/0/5/?searchdata1=9781849460279{020}). If we provided the opac base search URL format, could any columns have additional hyperlink, e.g. the ISBN columns, and/or a second title column for a title search in the opac? This would be great within Aspire to speed up our checking (it’s already possible with the LibX plugin but not everyone uses this and it takes a few extra clicks). Would this be good to add as an Idea or can it be looked at as part of the reporting overhaul if it’s not too tricky to include? What do others think?
Thanks again for the enhancements, a good step forward!

Keji,
Another issue is the leading zeros being dropped from the 10-diguit ISBNs. This can be resolved by adding a quote mark before the data when creating the report.

Keji,
Liking the new reports.
One thing I have noticed is that when exporting the results to CSV, some of the columns are not aligned. I would assume this is because of null values not being registered (see below example of how the ISBN 13 is in the ISBN 10 column and the ISBN 10 column is in the importance column, etc). Could we get this sorted so that all the data aligns correctly?
Thanks,
Andy
