Creating Summary Reports in ERM
To create an ERM summary report:
- Choose ERM – Coverage Analysis Mode from the Function drop-down list.
- Choose the Usage Analysis tab.
- Specify the report parameters:
Parameter Action Group By Choose one of the following options from the drop-down menu: - Subject
- The system groups titles into subjects by comparing the title's call number to the call number ranges (that is, subject categories) in your library's Statistical Categories (SCAT) table. By default, Sierra looks for the call number in the bibliographic record's c-tagged variable-length field. Note that Sierra uses the first SCAT table present on the system.
The system associates the subject and title when statistics are loaded. Statistics must be re-loaded to update the subject associated with a title.
If the record containing the call number cannot be found, or if the designated variable-length field does not contain a call number, the system does not associate the title with a subject, and the title's statistics are reported in the 'no subject' row.
- Resource
- Calculating the statistics from data grouped by resource is the default option.
