Community Reports and Notice

The standard Community reports are designed to track actions taken on community records from the PAC, not from the staff client. Since community organization records cannot be created in the PAC, only community event records appear on the New Community Records report.

Once community organization records have been created in the staff client, organization representatives can update both types of community records: organization records and event records. The Updated Community Records report shows updates to any type of community records from the PAC.

The following standard Polaris Cataloging reports are available for Community Records:

New Community Records - The report shows the community event records created from the PAC after a specified date for a selected branch or for all branches.
Updated Community Records - The report shows the community records updated after a specified date for a selected branch or for all branches.

In addition, the library can generate the Stale Community Records notice, which shows community organization records (not events) that have not been updated since a specified date. These notices can be sent to the community organizations to alert them that they should update their records.
