Analytics - August 2017 Enhancements

Network Zone Information Available in Alma Analytics

You can now create reports in Alma Analytics containing information from the Network Zone.
To support this feature, the Portfolio Details for Consortia dimension was added to the E-Inventory subject area. Use the fields from this dimension to create reports containing information from the Network Zone.
The fields in the Portfolio Details for Consortia dimension will be organized into sub-folders in the next release; therefore, reports created with these fields should not be saved.
