Main Stories

(URM-247151) Improved Encryption Method Applied to the User ID Encryption Field

February 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-247151

The encryption method for the User ID Encryption field (Analytics > Access Analytics > Create > Analysis > Fulfillment > Loan Details) has been strengthened to provide enhanced data protection. The existing reports using a specific value as a filter may need to be reviewed and updated to ensure they continue to function as expected.

(URM-315554) Data Dictionary E-Inventory

February 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-315554

As part of an ongoing project and in alignment with the Analytics Community of Practice, Ex Libris is currently enriching the documentation of analytics field tables with additional information. This initiative aims to assist and support users in comprehending how our Alma data is presented within the realm of Analytics fields. For this month, the following tables within the E-Inventory subject area were updated:

  • E-Inventory - Portfolio License

(URM-317332) Flexible Definition of Local Parameters Being Sent to Analytics

February 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-317332

Users can now decide which parts of a MARC field (indicators and subfields) are sent to Analytics through local parameters. This is possible for both bibliographic and holdings information. It provides more control over data granularity in reports, enabling a more accurate and focused analysis.

(URM-314457) Holdings Committed to Retain Indication Available in Analytics in Physical Items and Titles Subject Areas

February 2026 Analytics and Insights URM-314457

New field Holdings Committed to Retain is available in the Holdings Details folder in the Physical Items Subject Area. Additionally, two new fields, Has Holdings Committed to Retain and Has P-Inventory Committed to Retain, are available in the Title Details folder in the Titles Subject Area.

For more information, see Physical Items and Titles.
