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 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.

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.

Modification Date	The latest (most recent) modification date. Date fields can consist of a partial date, such as just the year or a month and year.
Modification Date (Calendar)	The latest (most recent) 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.

LC Classification

Using this dimension, the user can drill down from Group1 to Group4. In each level, the user may see measures accumulated to the relevant group and see the number of items grouped by classification.

The field descriptions can be found in the LC Classifications shared dimension.

For Physical Items, Alma takes LC classification information from the holdings record level. For all other subject areas, it is taken from the bibliographic record level.

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). We receive weekly updates from CONSER 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)

Fund Information

This dimension allows you to report on fund information together with physical item information. The Receiving Date field from the Physical Item Details folder can be used together with library, location, and fund information to create reports combining receiving date and fund.

This dimension enables you to answer the following business question: What is the cost per use for physical inventory? Some applications of this question are the following:

What is the number of physical items purchased with specific funds during the past year?
What is the number of loans by fund that purchased the loaned item?
What is the average number of loans per physical item for physical items purchased in the past year with specific funds?
Which funds used to purchase items in the last year had the lowest rate of circulation for those items?
How much money was expended on items acquired in a given fiscal year that have not circulated within X number of years, with a breakdown by fund, call number, and location?

Attributes (grey fields) from all dimensions, including the Physical Item Details dimension can be used together with measures and attributes from the Fund Information dimension.
Do not use the measures (yellow fields) from the Physical Item Details dimension together with measures (yellow fields) or attributes (grey fields) from the Fund Information dimension. This produces incorrect results.
This dimension is only for expenditure type transactions.

The Fund Information dimension contains the following folders:
