    New and improved Alma Analytics Interface inside Alma

    Analytics tools are important and sometimes crucial for the everyday work of librarians both as decision making tools and as status indicators.
    The new and enhanced Alma user interface for handling Analytics reports is designed to offer more information and transparency about analytics objects such as widgets, reports, dashboards, and scheduled reports. Additionally, the new methodology allows for searching, viewing and sharing the analytics objects in an easy and intuitive manner.  

    In this session we will review some of the features and capabilities that will increase analytics integration within Alma:

    • A Next Generation Analytics Objects List
    • Report Preview within Alma
    • Creating an Alma Landing Page from a DV Workbook
    • Sharing reports via a report URL
    • Creating Favorites

    This session will be delivered by Yoel Kortick and  Raphael Gabbay

    Digital Fulfillment

    Digital Fulfillment in Alma (also known as "Patron Waitlist for Digital Resources") allows the institution to

    • Determine how many concurrent users can view a digital object
    • Control how long each user can view a digital object
    • Enable patrons to join a "waitlist" to view a digital object at a later period if it is currently not available due to maximum concurrent users viewing it.

    This session will cover the configuration of Digital Fulfillment and also show live workflows of its use.

    This session will be delivered by Yoel Kortick and Daniel Greenberg
