[Evergreen-reports] Last status date vs last edit date

[Forrest, Stuart]

The last edit date changes any time the item has something done to it, deleted, checked out, copy location change etc. The Last Status Change Date changes only when the copy status changes so if you are basing your reports on that it is more accurate.

Hope this is clear, and other please correct me if I am wrong.

Subject: [Evergreen-reports] Last status date vs last edit date

Hi all,

At the session on Inventory, I seem to recall someone mentioning that they prefer the 'Last Status Change' date instead of the 'Last Edit Date' for inventory reports. The report will display those items not checked in during a specific time so that staff can deal with 'missing' items.
My questions are:
1. I'd like to know how the 'Last Status Change' is more accurate than "Last Edit Date'.
2. Where does the 'Last Status Change' live in the Reports module. I have been able to find "Last Edit Date' under the Item source, but I do not see an option for Last Status Change.

Any help would be appreciated.

Carol
