CR_tips2_Formula

Rental_ Trevor Trotter has created a Rental report 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.

CR_tips3_Parameter A few tips using the options in the Parameter Fields section in Crystal Reports

CR_tips5_Available_on_reserve Ever wanted to try to run Crystal Reports from an Excel file? I have imported from Spydus' Instant Report "Items available for allocation" this file into Excel and with Crystal Report changed the layout and sorted the fields to make it easy to check the collections/shelves. By using the same Excel file name and saving it in the same folder and following a few steps, Crystal Reports can find this data and updates the screen automatically after the Ok to update prompt.

Long_Overdue_selects_with_barcodes Produces a list of very long overdues,with accn numners in numeric and barcode font.  A work around for bulk processing items through circ maintennace.  I found the barcodes scan best if printed straight from crytsal Reports rather than saved to an excel file etc. 

Crystal Templates

These are template files which can be used as the basis for your own reports. The key links between tables are already established allowing you to report on the data you need.
The reports were written under Crystal Reports 2008 and tested against an 851 environment.

You must of course change Set Datasource Location before running these reports. All templates prompt for Institution allowing them to be used in a consortia environment. The loans and reservations (holds) templates also prompt for date ranges in order to limit the volume of data returned.

Please note: The Borrowers (XXX_BORROWERS).rpt is specifically designed for SELMS customers in the UK and even then it cannot be used without amendment. Through Database Expert the SELMS user must replace the KJO_BORROWERS table with their own unique table in the SpydusREP database. All links must therefore be re-established.
