Requester

The Requester table is a dimension table that stores the details about the Staff and Public users that request the item. The primary key of the table is USER_ID.

The field descriptions can be found in the User Details shared dimension.

Many institutions store information about individuals, including personal details and information about their activities. Due to privacy concerns, some institutions are required to anonymize the data on a regular basis.
Alma offers the option to delete such user information for fulfillment and resource sharing activities. The information is deleted for activities that have been completed, such as completed loans, closed fines and fees, or resource sharing borrowing requests.
You can configure Alma to delete the more specific information (for example, User ID) and retain the more general user information (for example, User Group and Job Title).
The information that is not anonymized can be included in Analytics reports.
For more information concerning anonymization, see Security and Data Privacy.

Bibliographic Details

The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores the bibliographic details of the borrowing request item. The fields are from the MMS_DISPLAY table. The primary key of the table is MMS_ID.

The field descriptions can be found in the Bibliographic Details shared dimension.

Ex Libris works with content providers worldwide to enrich the metadata available in the Alma Community Zone. To enrich the journal/serial content in the CZ, we work directly with the Library of Congress CONSER feed for electronic serials, which we match against our knowledge base to enrich with all of the relevant metadata fields that they supply (for more details, see Community Zone Serial Records Enrichment) and enrich the CZ records with all relevant metadata, including the 050 fields (when available).

In the case of book content, we work with multiple providers who are willing to share their metadata with the Alma community globally (for more details, see Community Zone Monograph Records Enrichment). If you have local access to these classifications, you may want to consider working with the local extension for these records whenever an update is not available. (For more details, see Working with Local Extension Fields for Community Zone-linked Records.)

The Bibliographic Details table contains two kinds of fields, those derived from the MARC record and those that come from Alma. Although in analytics there is no distinction made between these fields, for explanatory purposes we have divided them into two tables below.

Linked to CZ	Indicates if the record is linked to the Community Zone
Linked to NZ	Indicates if the record is linked to the Network Zone
Local Param 1-10	This field allows you to enrich the bibliographic information exported to Analytics with additional information from MARC fields in Alma. In order to make use of this field, you must contact Ex Libris Support and supply them with a three-digit MARC field code (for example, 901). (The field does not need to include a 9.) The fields can be number and code fields but not control fields. Therefore, the field must be greater than or equal to 010, because 00X are Control Fields and 01X-09X are Numbers and Code Fields. Following configuration of this field by Ex Libris Support, its value will be available in analytics. Subfields can be maintained in the Analytics fields identified for Local Param. When this capability is implemented, fields/subfields appear in Alma Analytics with the Alma subfield delimiter (either $$ or ‡) used to delineate the subfield content. Contact Support to enable this feature. Note that reindexing is required to fully implement this capability. Note that the local param fields are not related to the MARC type of the record. For example, if field 913 is defined to be in local param 1 then field 913 will always be in local param 1. This is the case if the record is of the type KORMARC, CNMARC, UNIMARC, MARC21, and so forth. It is not possible to have different sets of Local Param 1-10 for different types of MARC. The data in the local parameters is limited to 3900 characters. (New for August!) If you want to have the labels of the local parameters displayed in analytics, configure the analytics_display_local_params parameter (Configuration > Analytics > General Configuration > Other Settings) to true.
Managed by Provider	Indicates if the electronic resource is managed by the provider
MMS ID	The MMS ID of the item. This is the MMS ID of the portfolios associated with the electronic collection. It is not the MMS ID of the electronic collection or of the MMS ID of the descriptive bibliographic record added in the Additional tab of the electronic collection editor. If there are no portfolios, the value of this field is empty.
Modification Date	The modification date. Date fields can consist of a partial date, such as just the year or a month and year.
Modification Date (Calendar)	The modification date. Calendar Date fields always consist of a month, date, and year. If the information is not provided, 01 is added, so that a date of 2020 is rendered 01/01/2020. This date format is useful when filtering the report by date.
Modified By	The user name that modified the record
Network ID	This field is used by institutions implementing a Network Zone. It is the same as the MMS ID of the bibliographic record in the Network Zone and can be used to create reports that show the MMS ID in the member institution (using the existing MMS ID), as well as the corresponding MMS ID in the Network Zone.
Originating System	The system where the bibliographic record originated
Originating System ID	The ID of the system where the bibliographic record originated
Originating System Version	The version of the originating system

If an analytics report is run from the Network Zone in a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, all member institutions are included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name.

If an analytics report is run from an institution that is not part of a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone, only the single institution from which the report is run is included in the report for Institution Code and Institution Name.

Reports involving data across a collaborative network implementing a Network Zone may take longer to run than reports within one institution.
