    Analytics
    Using the Physical Items area (formerly Inventory), the Design Analytics user may create reports/dashboards for the Physical Items area and is able to answer the following types of business questions:
    • How many physical Items exists per Library/Location
    • List of all the titles based on their process type
    • Number of Physical Items per material type
    • How many times each item was loaned
    • What is the last date that the item was loaned
    physical_items_star.gif
    Star Diagram – Physical Items
    • For information on how to use Analytics to find duplicate titles with both physical and electronic inventory, see Overlap Analysis and Physical Item Usage for Weeding (Deselection) in Alma Analytics.
    • Do not create reports with attribute fields (yellow fields) from the Physical Items subject area and fields from the Funds Expenditure subject area or you will receive incorrect results.

    Item Creation Date

    The Item Creation Date table is a dimension table that stores details about the physical item creation date. Key fields are used whenever calculations are required. Description fields may be used for formatting the display of the report. Alma stores the following types of fields:
    • Calendar Fields – These are date fields as they display in the calendar.
    • Fiscal Date Fields – These are date fields that match the institution's fiscal period. In the examples below, the fiscal period of the institution is for fiscal year 2012 that starts June 1, 2011 and ends May 31, 2012.
    Using this dimension, the user may drill down from year to month to the specific date on which the physical item was created. The number of the physical item is accumulated to the relevant level in the hierarchy.
    Item Creation Date
    Field Description Additional Information
    Item Creation Date Stores the item creation date in a date format such as 2/29/2014. All date dimensions include dates up to and including 30 years back and 20 years forward. So, for example, if today is March 17, 2021:
    • The earliest loan date that would appear is March 17, 1991.
    • The latest due date that would appear is March 17, 2041.
    Item Creation Start of Week The date of the first business day of the week  
    Item Creation Week Number The number of the week of the year  
    Item Creation Month Key Stores the month of the date in number format such as 2 for February This field is useful when you want to sort by the month, which does not work properly when using the alphabetical field.
    Item Creation Month Stores the month of the date in month description format such as February  
    Item Creation Full Month Stores the month and the year of the date in a display format such as Feb 12 This field is useful when comparing data on a month basis between years.

    Item Creation Fiscal Month Key Stores the fiscal month of the date in number format such as 2 for February This field is useful when you want to sort by the month, which does not work properly when using the alphabetical field.
    Item Creation Fiscal Year Stores the fiscal year of the date in a string format such as 2012. If the fiscal year description is stored in the institution fiscal period configuration table. This value is taken from there.
    Item Creation Date Filter (under construction) Used to filter the item creation date.
    The functionality of this field may change in the future, so this field should not be used for saved reports.
    		  
    Item Creation Year-Month The year and the month in a format such as 2023-1  
    Creation Date Stores the Hierarchy column that allows the user to drill down from the year to the month to the specific modification date. This column provides you with the option of viewing the accumulative measures in each level of the hierarchy.

    Item Modification Date

    The Modification Date table is a dimension table that stores details about modification of physical item inventory.
    The Item Modification date is the date of the last change to the item. Therefore, if on January 19, 2016 the item was in process type Acquisition, on January 20, 2016 the item was in process type Request, and on January 21, 2016 the item was in process type Loan (and no additional change to the item was made after January 21), the Item Modification Date is January 21, 2016.
    Key fields are used whenever calculations are required. Description fields may be used for formatting the display of the report. Alma stores the following types of fields:
    • Calendar Fields – These are date fields as they display in the calendar.
    • Fiscal Date Fields – These are date fields that match the institution's fiscal period. For the examples below, the fiscal period of the institution is for fiscal year 2012 that starts June 1, 2011 and ends May 31, 2012.
    Using this dimension, the user can drill down from year to month to the specific date on which the physical item was created. The number of physical item is accumulated to the relevant level in the hierarchy.
    The Item Modification Date is updated when a core activity is performed, but not a fulfillment activity.

    Manually saving a holding record will update the modification date for physical items.

    Bibliographic Details

    The Bibliographic Details table is a dimension table that stores the bibliographic details of the physical item. 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.
