Generating Reports
This section describes the ILS reports provided by the Intelligent Library Controller and
gives instructions for generating them. Available reports include:
• Checkout Discrepancy Report
Use this report only if your site allows off-line processing. This report lists off-line
checkout events that were rejected by the LMS after it returned to on-line processing.
See “Checkout Discrepancy Report” on page 2-14.
• Patron Discrepancy Report
Use this report only if your site allows off-line processing. This report lists off-line
patron status events that were rejected by the LMS after it returned to on-line
processing. Before you can successfully generate this report, you must use the Offline
Synchronize function (see “Synchronize Offline Transactions” on page 13-3) to move
off-line transactions into the transaction database. See “Patron Discrepancy Report” on
page 2-15.
• Generic Reports
You specify this report’s parameters to create custom reports. See “Generic Reports”
on page 2-18.
• Exit Alarm Report
This report lists items that caused an alarm at specified exits. See “Exit Alarm Report”
on page 2-21.
• Check In Report
This report lists items that failed to check in or that require special handling. See
“Check In Report” on page 2-23.
After generating a report, you can view or print it. If you generate a report for a specific
branch, you can save, view, or print it; or view later from an ILS Remote Monitor at
another location. You cannot generate Intelligent Library Controller reports when using
ILS Remote Monitor. See “Using ILS Remote Monitor” on page 5-8 for further details.
You can navigate to the most commonly requested reports (Checkout Discrepancy, Patron
Discrepancy, and Exit Alarm) by using the buttons on the button bar, as well as the
Reports menu.
