[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Reports - Item Source - Parent circulation?

[Walz, Jennifer]

John,

  I would like the CURRENT item checked out with the CURRENT patron name who has it.     It would be great to see all the items with the status of checkedout, for our location, with a borrower listed for each item who has the item out.

Is that the ‘active circulation’??   What are ‘linked’ circulations?

  WHY is this so hard?  Don’t libraries want to know how many items are out currently, what they are, and who has them?     Should be a ‘one-click’ report.

Thanks!

Jennifer

Hi, Jennifer:

Are you looking to get information for the patron who CURRENTLY has the item checked out or for the patron who had the item checked out PRIOR to the current checkout?

The former is easy, the latter... may not be as friendly.

The Parent Circulation relates to renewals. If an item is renewed, the parent circ was the circulation that led to the renewal.

All –

I’m trying to get a report to run with the LAST circulating patron on items currently checked out.   Is that the Parent Circulation?    What IS the parent circulation?

If not, what is the data point in the Item Source to help me get to that information?

I want a report with this information:   current status=checked out, list of item barcode, title, call number, and circ mod.   Also need for each item, the LAST circ patron (i.e. the one who has it out now) with barcode and last name.

  Any advice is welcome.

Thanks!

Jennifer
