CR_tips2_Formula

Rental_yesterday Same as Rental_.rpt except: "I copied this rental report and added a formula for yesterday’s date (DateAdd("d", -1, CurrentDate). Now I do not have to select yesterday’s date anymore ..." The original Rental report is for our three libraries with Crystal Reports, which shows: - how much money each library waived in each rental collection - how much each library has received in rental fees for each rental collection - the time and date of issue - the borrower barcode number - sub totals in each rental collection and a grand total We use this report daily with a slight modification of Trevor’s original report design.

Price of collections Here's a report of the cost of collections, grouped by collection. Includes a grand total, count of total items per collection and an average price per collection. Naturally you will need to set datasource to your server. And main.deactdate is null, otherwise you're counting all your withdrawals as well. Please test and see how you go. Also don't forget gigo, if you don't have a value in the field for price, it will distort the figures. - Gavin

adult_fiction_list_greater_5_items._with_author A list of Adult fiction titles where we hold 5 or more items,  added after a certain date

dvdreservations A List of DVD titles with reservations

Issues_by_branch_by_collection_for_fin_year_-_not_renewals

Issues for financial year by branch by collection. Not including renewals - just remove that part of the select statement to count all issues.

To change the breakdown to just by collection or just by branch, delete one of those cells from the table and it will recalculate the table without that sort criteria.

A very simples report - what could possibly go wrong?

heavy_reserved_report - includes orders

This report lists heavily reserved biliographic records. It includes order information (if present) as well as a count of copies.

To get this report to work you need to create a new table in your SQL database by closely following the instructions in the attached zip file AT YOUR OWN RISK. I personally had no problems following these instructions but if you get stuck I'm afraid you're on your own. Likewise if you break your database in some bizarre way. I think that's very unlikely but I have to limit my liability here...

We commissioned Civica (in the form of Trevor) to write this report for us. They are happy for me to share the report we paid for but if you can't get it to work and want some help with it I'm sure your account manager can work something out.

The first column is a basic calculation of reservations per item and order.
2nd column is the title and collection.
Then it's total copies, total resies, total on order copies and order date.

I hope it's useful.
