Design Analytics Roles
Before you can create reports in Alma, you must be assigned a Design Analytics role. After you are assigned one of these roles, the Design Analytics links appear at Main Menu > Analytics. Follow this link to create reports/dashboards.
The following design analytics roles are available:
- Designs Analytics – allows access to all subject areas and reports.
- (New for May!) Designs Analytics – Fulfillment – limits access to the API Usage, Analytics Objects, Analytics Usage Tracking, Borrowing Requests, Course Reserves, DARA, Fines and Fees, Fulfillment, Lending Requests, Local Authorities, Requests, Resource Sharing, System Events, Title, and Users subject areas.
- (New for May!) Designs Analytics – Resources – limits access to the Analytics Objects, Analytics Usage Tracking, API Usage, DARA, Digital Inventory, Digital Usage, Digital Waitlist, E-Inventory, Licenses, Link Resolver Usage, Local Authorities, Physical Items Historical Events, Physical Items, System Events, Title, and Users subject areas.
- (New for May!) Designs Analytics – Acquisition – limits access to the Purchase Requests, Analytics Objects, Analytics Usage Tracking, API Usage, DARA, Funds Expenditure, Local Authorities, System Events, Title, Usage Data (COUNTER), and Users subject areas.
- To enable the limited roles, set the support_partial_analytics_designer parameter (Configuration > Analytics > General Configuration > Other Settings) to true.
- All reports, both those in the catalog and those in the Shared with Me area, are visible to users with the limited roles, but only ones in the subject areas to which they have access run successfully. For more information on reports in Alma Analytics, see Running Out-of-the-Box Reports and Sharing Analytics Objects with Other Users.
- If you have multiple concurrent sessions of Alma open, you may have connection problems with Alma analytics after accessing design analytics.
