Download Local INN-Reach Statistics

Your Local Server archives the circulation transactions it receives from the INN-Reach Central Server. You can download archived transactions to a file and then transfer that file to a PC or another machine. To download the data to a PC, the PC must be equipped with FTP Server software. The download uses SFTP (secure file transfer protocol). Using spreadsheet software, you can work with the data to compile statistics about INN-Reach requests and circulation.

On average, a Local Server can store one week's worth of transactions. If you want to track all of the transactions that your Local Server receives, Innovative recommends that you export transactions once a week. For a list of the transactions that you can export, see Available Transactions.

To download local INN-Reach circulation transactions:

  1. Choose the following option in Admin Corner:

    Download Local INN-Reach Statistics.

    The system displays a menu similar to the following:
    Export INN-Reach Circulation Transactions
    Choosing the 'T' menu option when no transactions are selected
    will automatically select all transactions in the list.
     01 > 100
     02 > 101
     03 > 102
     04 > 103
     05 > 104

    To scroll forward and backward through the list, choose F > FORWARD or B > BACKWARD.

  2. Specify which transactions you want to download:
    • To download all transactions, enter 't' while all transactions are de-selected. The system automatically begins compiling all transactions.
    • To download specific transactions:
      1. Select or deselect transactions by entering the corresponding list number. The system indicates that a transaction has been selected by inserting an 'x' character before the list entry. (In the example above, the entry for transaction 108 is selected.)
      2. Choose T > TRANSFER Circ Transactions to PC.
    The system compiles all of the transactions that you selected and displays a progress message. For example:
    Processing transaction: <transaction #>
