Statistical Group Maintenance Table

To edit the Statistical Group Maintenance table, you must be assigned permission 689 (Statistical Group Maintenance). If you are assigned permission 373 (View Circulation Parameters) but not 689, you can view this table but cannot edit it. See Permissions Used by Sierra for more information.

The Statistical Group Maintenance table associates each statistics group with a specific name and location. The system displays these names in the following places:

the Hourly Circulation report
the Owning/Home Circulation report and the Non-owned Circulation report, if your library has acquired Consortium Management Extensions
on certain print templates
(Sierra 6.0 and later) the IN LOC and OUT LOC fields in the item record display if your login's Fixed-length Field Display Mode option is set to either Show descriptions only or Show both codes and descriptions

You can access the Statistical Group Maintenance table via the following menu path:

Admin | Parameters | Circulation | Statistical Group Maintenance

For information on modifying this table, see Maintaining System Parameter Tables and Maintaining Circulation Parameters.

The Statistical Group Maintenance table contains a maximum of 5,000 entries. Each entry contains the following data elements:

Element	Description
Terminal	The statistics group number to which you want to assign a name.
Statistic Group Name	The name (up to 20 characters) that you want to associate with the statistics group specified in the Terminal element. At multi-lingual sites, the system repeats this element for each language enabled on your system.
Location	The location code from the Branches table that you want to associate with the statistics group. The location you assign should be one that you use in the HOME LIBR fixed-length field in patron records. A location must be specified in order to use the Owning/Home Circulation report and the Non-owned Circulation report.
